As the throwaway account mentioned, this issue is handled by state law.

In the case that I was referring to, the law under which the person was convicted also registered him as a sex offender, so neither path would've avoided that. Which is as it should be.

Furthermore, apart from what the male-dominated herd wisdom of the internet would like to believe, people don't just get convicted of rape because someone makes a baseless accusation. If you got convicted of rape, it's just like any other criminal case, and that means there was a solid, evidence-backed case against you, and a jury of your peers decided that you were conclusively guilty.

I'm not saying that a false conviction never happened. But if you're someone like the sicko with the throwaway account, filming your every sexual encounter because you're afraid someone's going to accuse you of rape, you're probably not approaching your sexual encounters with a healthy attitude.
