Should she get some sort of penalty for making false accusations?
In my opinion ABSOLUTELY! you can run about destroying peoples lives and get away with it. Illness or not.
Or should she get off scot free because she’s mentally ill and presumably not in full control of her actions?
Fuck no! I’m deeply sorry for her troubles, but those people shouldn’t suffer due to false accusations.
its not about her suffering, its about the victims being about to point to a court verdict and say “I am not, nor was I EVER a child abuser”.
Absolutely this. While that illness can be difficult to manage and I have sympathy for her, the accusations would be life-changing and devastating for the people wrongfully accused
And while she may not be responsible for the disease, she is responsible for the impact it has on others.
I cannot imagine the impact the accusations had on those individuals, and although there may not be a financial benefit I think I would want to push through to clear my name.
Yes!
Thats for a court to decide
