Greater Manchester Police said there was a "continuous, wilful making of false allegations" by Stacey Sharples, who knew "full well the consequences for each of the men involved".

No. Should be ~10 years for something like that.

 

[nush]

No that's fair if it's 10 x 4.5. She'll get out and just do it again.

It should be whatever the maximum sentence of the falsely accused crime is (or crimes combined in this case). The minimum should be ten years, even if the falsely accused crime has a maximum sentence lower than that.

No. It's not enough.

 

[DeafTourette]

Nope.

Just make her stay in an apartment building full of "future doctors and engineers" 'asylum seekers', then her complaints won't be fake anymore and the police can safely ignore her.

Should be life.

In this case? Hell no

A person lying about something so serious that would change the whole world of another person should have life sentence territory of penalty. Maybe not being in jail forever, but after it, volunteer work for a homeless kitchen or something forever

Without even reading the story I can tell you it's not enough

She should get the equivalent of what they would have gotten if convicted.

4.5 years per claim would be a bit more deserving. The damage she did to these men's lives is likely catastrophic.
