Reavill's Law

I am proposing Reavill's Law. This law will make it a felony if a person falsly accuses another person of sexual abuse. It has been more common for spouses or others to claim sexual assault of children. False allegations can effect these individuals for the rest of their life. It has a pronounced affect on getting work, shame in the community and expensive legal battles. Even if they are found not-guilty, people will  never look at them the same again. A lot of times they have to relocate to have normalicy in their life. If they are found guilty, this puts them on the "Sex Offender List" and prison time. So far there is no legal consequence for making false statements. This is why it is becoming more common and will unfortunately become more frequent in the future. We have to do something now to stop people from making these false statements and ruinging the "accused" life. By no means is this to justify if sexual abuse did happen. It should be fully punishable in court. However, using this to ruin someone's life for whatever personal gain is NOT acceptible. Please sign this petition to help get this law passed.
