False accusations (for profit or political motive) should be prosecuted just as severely since they destroy the credibility of those who genuinely are victims.

Unfortunately, into today's society, every male is guilty until proven innocent. ie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Banks_(American_football) Even after the accusations are proven false, lives have been destroyed.
I agree. In another thread, I suggested that if someone makes a false accusation, they are prosecuted for that. But the unique aspect, if they are found guilty, they are sentanced equal to the falsely accused crime. Falsely accuse muder, you are sentanced like a murderer. Falsly accuse rape, you are setanced like a rapist.
