What a load of bullshit.What if the woman doesn't know the accusation is false?
Falsely reporting a crime and perjury are crimes in at least most if not all jurisdictions. Like any other crime, it has elements that must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. One of those elements is always the mental state of knowing the allegation was false at the time the accusation was made.
If you trip out and think some random person is attacking you and beat them senseless, would you get away with it on the basis that your mental state dictated that you needed to defend yourself?
