I think instead if trying to pit two things against each other's we can acknowledge both suck in their own way
Rape victims have gotten AIDS or other diseases, pregnant by their rapist, made infertile. And those are only the tangible things. Many intangibles. Not all, but it is possible.
I'd say this. If you falsely accuse someone, your punishment should be whatever the punishment for a legit rape would have been. Plus reimbursement for all legal fees.
Also, I'm surprised a law has not been passed to prohibit employers from taking punitive action before there's been a conviction. Maybe it should be.
