Anyone can lie, though.   Any age.  Any sex.   Any race.  What is worrying about this case is that an arrest was made and charges filed, all based solely on a single person's allegation.  That should never happen in a just society.   There needs to be some kind of hard evidence, or at least some additional witnesses , in order to collaborate the allegations.  If not, then all you end up with is one person's word against another person's word.   

How on earth can any person ever be convicted, "beyond a reasonable doubt", if that is all that you have??   Answer:  You can't.

The police should have made some kind of investigation, before making an arrest.  It should not have been up to Mr Bryson to hire an attorney, who then hired a private investigator, who found evidence that the allegations were false.  

It is disturbing that our DA is operating in such a way, that a person is considered guilty of a crime, solely based upon the word of a lone individual.
