She should go to prison for 12 years. Double the time she made him lose for no reason.

HOW MANY TIMES MUST WE SEE THIS POST!!!!!
drpanicforhire
Not all of us are on Imgur all the time, relax man.
frumpee
until another instance occurs which people can throw around as "proof" that this is actually a common issue
BewareTheIceSpiders
Many more times I think.
Imielle
We could also stop hanging men before the trial occurs. Plus, perjury is already illegal. Don't make women more scared to report rape.
Morrigi
Why would punishing perjurers severely and consistently make someone who's telling the truth fear anything?
icantbelievemynamewastaken
Could be because women are frequently accused of lying when they accuse someone of rape even if they are not
Morrigi
Being accused of lying and being proven to be guilty of perjury are two very different things.
BondageBurrito
yes this is always on here this seriously doesn't happen as much as all of you liker to think most of the time women really do get raped 1/2
BondageBurrito
but if they lie and there is proof of course they should also go to jail for lying and intending to ruin that persons life.
Fukyu2dei
If there isn't proof of a rape a then... you shouldn't be able to send anyone to jail
FusRoDoodles
In theory yes, but life is never so easy.
MrAskani
Yes, yes they should. She should do at LEAST 6 years for what happened.
Lenzelaun
She should do life
Lenzelaun
Because that mans life is ruined, the career path he wanted to take, he can no longer take
somenerandom
She's been ordered to pay all the money she got from the case(1.5M) + another 1.1.She's basically fucked for life.Better than jail.
TF2215
I'd rather her be in jail, no way shes making enough to pay that off
LETHARGICpancake
Yes

This is the shit that absolutely infuriates me. Nothing will probably happen to the woman, and he lost so much.

Tl:dr. Bitch sued the school for 1.5 mil and won. She has been ordered to pay it back plus 1.1 mil more. Banks got signed by the Falcons.
DontTazeMeBrah
I thinks hes now working for the NFL Department of Operations last time I checked
stevec0008
The Falcons gave him a training camp roster spot in 2013, and he made it all the way to the final rounds of cuts.
scottydoesknow09
Damn, that's a great gesture by the Falcons.
packardcaribien
He was at a disadvantage entering training at 26.
ideagrinder
When I saw this reposted by another user 15hrs before you, I downvoted it bc it's a bullshit picture that I've seen here 100 times already.
ShamelessBirdGiver
Did you downvote this too?
ideagrinder
I absolutely did. I'm so tired of seeing it.
OswaldGutenberg
Not everyone has seen it before though, have they? You only have to hIt the right arrow key as well; hardly a big deal is it really mate?
ideagrinder
In general I don't mind reposts bc you're right. Just bc someone saw it a year ago doesn't mean I did. But this is under 24hrs.
BewareTheIceSpiders
What proof did he get convicted with anyway?
itsthevoiceman
There was no proof. If something didn't happen, you can't prove it happened.

He works for the NFL now
sprbwlshuffler
The last time this was posted the top comment was "yes."
MilDravin
absolutely. Even if it's a dropped case, he lost 6 years of his life, and technically still has the allegations to haunt him
pantbulge
I've posted on this story before. He tried outwith the Atl falcons after prison, but he lost his prime in a cell. Poor guy. No repay forthat
PolkaDottedSheep
It'll be one hell of a civil case. I know it doesn't make up for it but he'd take everything from her
AlaSnackbar
More than 6 years in a sense, because he lost out on a career path that would never come back to him.
CinnabonFury
Also, the trauma he experienced in prison
TF2215
He works for the NFL now, so his life is back on track though nothing will make up for his time in prison
iCurse
His entire life is ruined. Even if they fully clear his record he's still forever known as a rapist and ex prison guest
TF2215
The NFL gave him a job so his life is back on track, still doesn't make up for his time in jail
asm80dfa8sdfj
And not as the millionaire next-best-thing in the NFL.
ishouldprobablybeplayingpokemonATM
I mean his football career probably won't be what it was, but entire life ruined at 26 might be a tad dramatic

Are u trying to say that it wasn't that bad?

I'm trying to say at 26 he's got a good shot at a long happy life
littleindian
Should you go to jail for reposts and point whoring?
ShamelessBirdGiver
Lol wanted to see how far this would go
rophiandis
The problem is with less clear-cut cases. It doesn't seem right to tell a rape victim that she might go to jail if she doesn't win the case
Znayx
These are not equivalent. If a *Suspected* rape victim doesn't win the case (Innocent Until Proven Guilty) then nobody is charged. 1/2
Znayx
No damages are assumed to be done, so there's nothing to charge yet. That doesn't compare to this case, where lots damages WERE done.
rophiandis
So you're suggesting that we hold an additional trial for them, putting them through that much more? And that seems reasonable to you?
Znayx
I can't tell what you're saying. As long as a falsely accused person never goes behind bars, there's no need to punish the accuser. No harm.
Znayx
No need to bring her to court again cause the innocent wasn't hurt by the trial any more than the cost of a lawyer.
HumorLeech
Anyone of any gender who falsely accuses someone of rape should have to pay for it. It's treated with far too much bias one way or another.
Morositas
They should pay damages. We don't need more idiots in our jail system. I'd rather get paid than see them in jail.
HumorLeech
Jail systems in the US are broken as hell, anyway. Tons of people sent to jail because the privatization incentivizes judges to lock em up.
itsthevoiceman
I like your way of thinking. Just garnish their wages for 20 years and make them understand that their bullshit has consequences.
SomeDetroitGuy
In cases line this where you can absolutely prove she lied? Of course.
Munchman347
Why does it have to come to that. I can't get my neighbor convicted of colluding with ISIS just by swearing to it in court...
Freyja33
Because if any victim who went to trial and didn't win could have charges brought against them virtually no one would report actual rapes.
Munchman347
Thousands of people lose court cases and don't have charges brought against them. The value of testimony isn't emotional.
Freyja33
We can't consider victims guilty until proven innocent. You shouldn't be able to get a victim tried just by swearing to it either.
Freyja33
Especially because it's relatively easy to cast doubt on evidence in rape cases.
Freyja33
So in most there'd be enough ambiguity to bring charges against an accuser under this law, even if they actually were raped.
Freyja33
And again, in cases like this where there is clear evidence of perjury there is legal recourse, which was taken in this case.
UpvoteDarkSouls
The problem is that if her admitting to lying about the rape meant jail time she would have never admitted it he would still be in jail
UpvoteDarkSouls
Another thing to consider is that women not being able to prove a rape could count as a false accusation.
Freyja33
Which would only further discourage women (and men) from reporting rape, and even now very very few reported rapes are prosecuted.
DontTazeMeBrah
"That it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer"
TF2215
Not having evidence to convict is much different than having evidence of lying
Freyja33
Because they'll know that very very few reported rapes get prosecuted.
UpvoteDarkSouls
That is true
Freyja33
It really isn't. If defense attorneys can threaten to try a victim they'll use it to get them to drop the accusation.
TF2215
But it really is. Threatening means nothing if they have no evidence of lying or if the person is telling the truth.
Freyja33
It's very hard to get hard evidence in rape cases, and attorneys can usually argue the evidence is a result of consensual sex.
Freyja33
Apart from bias, rape cases are difficult to prosecute. It's very easy to attack the reputation of the accuser and make them out as a liar.
Freyja33
Because most people are biased in favor of the accused over the accuser in cases like this, for exactly the reason this post made the FP.
TF2215
If people were biased in favor of the accused, Banks wouldnt have spent all that time in jail
MajesticAsPsyduck

jet12345
If she testified in court and lied on the stand, that's perjury, a felony? Wouldn't the real vic be able to file a civil case against her
LeonardTPants
Perjury is a *criminally* under enforced crime.
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
also filing a false police report. though, depending on the area theyre in it's likely that the statute of limitations has passed on both>
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
>as far as I can find there arent any that go beyond 5 years, and this happened at least 6 years ago.
photony
There SHOULDN'T be statutes of limitations for that...
Sage042000
So the SoL is 5 years on screwing people over? I suppose it's no coincidence she confessed just after it passed eh?
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
it wasnt just after it was at least a year after, but yeah.
natebitatibetan
He can file a civil lawsuit against her.
sovietracism
The girl was paid 8 million or so settlement or so by their school for failing to protect her. The school is suing for the money back 1/2
sovietracism
But she claimed that she is broke and can't pay any money back.
itsthevoiceman
This is a situation where "Debtor's Prison" makes quite a bit of sense. But, you know, only because of this one case, and one person.
bbbldr8
The problem is most DAs wont press charges, because makes real rape victims less likely to come forward, it's a shitshow all-around.
s13bro
Not if you were my DA. Rek that bitch.
itsthevoiceman
Which is a stupid assumption on behalf of anyone who makes the claim.
DarkMutton
So we should let men get sent to prison and have their reputation destroyed because of crazy bitches? Nah
lenomdeplume
Scuse me? The only people who would think twice about coming forward are the liars. Bogus argument.
innes15
Wouldn't it simply discourage people from purjury?
TheGhostofElizabethShue
The DA has nothing to do with it if it's a civil case, no?
LuftMeister
Correct. DAs prosecute criminal cases
bbbldr8
I was talking about the perjury aspect, the da has nothing to do with civil, but civil would only award money.
PolkaDottedSheep
Yeah they can file a civil case but she won't go to jail or anything.
FrogPaste
Right, but they can fine the shit out of her and force her to make payments to the victim for, hopefully, the rest of their life.
Enigmastick
Is there any proof it makes real victims scared of pressing charges? Because that sounds like bullshit to me.

divitu
I'm not going to start a research project at work, but take a look at the reasons rape is underreported.
FaultyStarsNoConstellations
It opens up for the risk that if a guy cant be proven guilty, can she be prosecuted? 'Cause rape convictions are hard to get in the first1/?
Morrigi
She can only be prosecuted if it's proven that she lied. All I propose is that the already-existing law be enforced.
FaultyStarsNoConstellations
Place, and a trial is hell for most victims of rape, so it will be difficult to get victims to press charges if they risk having a case2/?
FaultyStarsNoConstellations
Against them afterwards, cause they couldnt prove it beyond doubt or w/e. If we are only talking about cases Where its clear cut that the3/?
LETHARGICpancake
And get what? 8 years and his future back?
Bliffity
How many people do you think she's hurt between then and now? I'm betting on a high number.

Justice
rinoz225
Justice and $. You can get a lot in reparations and emotional issues from being inprisoned. Might be enough to take care of himself
idiotn00b
He should get to rape that girl imo
UMDhockey17
...wtf is wrong with you
BlncSL8
I agree with you, it's super fucked up. But I kind of agree with the rape idea guy too. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
idiotn00b
it just seems fair to me, maybe you disagree? no need to be rude
UMDhockey17
It's fair??? For someone to get raped???
StuckInBetweeen
That's like saying murderers should walk free since victims won't come back to life. I don't get your logic. No sense of justice?
LETHARGICpancake
Yeah, we should really just make them pay a small amount weekly to the victim and eliminate prisons all together. That sense of justice?
StuckInBetweeen
What??? That statement makes no sense. Justice for him being imprisoned for a crime he didn't do. What are you talking about?
LETHARGICpancake
And how does a civil case do him justice?
StuckInBetweeen
Make her spend time in the said prisons or pay small amounts weekly.
LETHARGICpancake
You don't go to jail in a civil case, and what amount of money gives him his life back? Millions? Unless she has that, it's pointless
somegoodGarmonbozia
We can never un-murder people so prosecuting killers pointless. This logic is awful- the point of punishment is deterrence, not vengeance.
LETHARGICpancake
We don't prosecute murderers in civil court either. This logic is awful.
sovietracism
Tell that to OJ.
LETHARGICpancake
He was tried in criminal court
somegoodGarmonbozia
Ha! Fair enough. What type of court do we prosecute perjury in?
LETHARGICpancake
Seriously?
jet12345
That seems unlikely. Is it your belief there should be no consequences for having such a profound and negative affect on someone's life?
LETHARGICpancake
No, I'm saying unless she's a millionaire, a civil suit won't get him shit except more wasted time and money. It's criminal
seasonedskillet
I think he/she is just saying that while going after the woman is an option, at this point, it is too little too late
TLCGamer
Not really, she should be punished for knowingly ruining someone's future an wasting years of their life.
sentientseven
That's like saying it's pointless to convict a murderer because the victim is already dead.
Maaki
Amen
HorseBot3000
True for him, but she serves to be punished, and it certainly sets a precedent
letstalknews
We in America have taken this women can do no wrong thing a bit too far, family courts and shit like this need to change.
