Woman recants rape allegations that put man in jail for 3 years. The bad news is that she put this guy in jail for the most trivial of reason, which is pure evil. The good news is that she had enough of a conscience to finally do the right thing, which is good. The guy apparently had a long rap sheet, which did most of the work of convincing everyone that he had done what he hadn't done.

It's alarming how easy it can sometimes be to send someone to jail for a crime they didn't commit, which ties into the statistic that 40% of rape allegations are false.  Not unsubstantiated. False.
