I'm not saying this is the case in this situation; however my biggest issue with false accusations are how it makes it so much more difficult for real victims of domestic abuse. Those victims become scared to tell anyone due to a fear that no one will believe them. I believe over 90% of domestic violence situations go unreported. The only recourse the State has for liars of domestic violence is nothing because they don't want to produce a greater chilling effect for those who are abused due to fears of not only a lack of support from the system, but also due to the possibility of adverse legal repercussions for not bringing forth a strong enough case.
All in all, I hope this doesn't cause irreparable harm to the future of any of these U of I students regardless of any transgressions that might have occurred on their end.
