Ian Huntley has been seriously injured in prison. Nothing trivial, I hope.

Theworrieedwell, Your focus of anger seems directed towards the small proportion of false allegations, rather than the large number of male rapists.

Some of us have extensive direct experience of working with sex offenders and their victims. I’m more disappointed and surprised that more women are suppprted through trauma and more sex offenders successfully prosecuted. As MOnica points out, fantasists are often identified early in the process

Rubbish. No one thinks rape is acceptable but people dismiss false allegations. Remember every victim is a person with feelings and a life so every one is entitled to the same level of protection just like all perpetrators should be dealt with. I hate the "there aren't that many men falsely accused" attitude.

Why does false allegations not merit anger as does the crime?
