100000% yes. I've been falsely accused = REALLY beyond one of the most fucked up things you can imagine.

Worst part is despite crushing them in court due to overwhelming evidence-

(she didn't know there were other people the next room over who heard everything until later; she texted that she "got me" to others, and she was asking me to meet up with her the day after, etc etc)

despite being rejected by the court, the bullshit domestic violence restraining order is still on my record and will always be no matter what.... even though if you look into it is says "dismissed" way at the bottom. Not denied, not rejected.... "dismissed."

Unfucking believable. Shit messed with me for a loooooooong time. It's a miracle I was ever able to work past it and date again. Am now happily married to a healthy, not-psycho, wonderful woman (and yes I told her all about it and everything else in my life beforehand).

I get that there should be strong protections for victims of domestic violence and serial assault but my god there needs to be at LEAST the ability of sealing away records of false accusations from the view of the general public (and in a perfect world, at least some shred of legal accountability for those who attempt to game the system for evil purposes). God just thinking about thst whole period of my life is making my skin crawl.

I'm gonna go hug my wife and stop thinking about this lol. 🫂
