Feminists will have us trust that behind the assault of a woman, there is more injury and individual outcomes than behind a “false assault allegation” of a man, but is it accurate to say that this is reality? Should there be some instance of deterrent discipline for erroneously blaming some individual for assault, or should it just be addressed with a slap on the wrist? Alternately, should the police be fulfilled by presuming that they have no verification of there being an assault, end the case and not spend police assets on researching further to check whether the allegation was false?

    From the Criminal Defense Lawyer page about Aggravated Sexual Assault Charges and Penalties, it states that sentences can be from five to fifteen years depending on the state or the severity of the assault, and 20 years to a possible life sentence if the victim is under the age of 16, depending on the severity of the crime.

    Rape myths are at the center of the problem of how rape and sexual assault cases are looked at, and treated as in society. Rape myths vary, some excuse the rape, others try to minimize the severity of the situation, while others doubt the act even happened in the first place (Levit and Verchick, 196). Some examples of rape myths include: a victim was “asking for it,” a victim’s previous sexual history, regretful sex is not rape, a woman’s “no” means “yes,” and women lie about rape all the time. Rape myths are targeted towards women, not the rapist. Despite, rape myths being proved false by empirical evidence, they are still prevalent in society.
