False allegations against men: a systemic anti-male problem
While crime against women is a seriously discussed topic worldwide, false allegations against men are limitedly discussed topics
False allegations: domestic violence
The case of Spain since the Gender Violence Law was enacted in 2004 is a salutary reminder of what can happen when ideology rather than sound practice is made the basis of law. The law has led to a whole spate of false allegations against men and to their summary imprisonment for 48 hours before any appearance in court to test the validity of the accusation.
Quotes cited in the above video from three prominent legal figures, two of whom are judges, convey some idea of what is going on. Magistrate Maria Sanahuja: “In case of doubt we have the presumption of guilt and an arrest is made and within a few hours the case is presented in a court… [which] decides what to do and to accuse someone of an offence or crime without a minimum of investigation”
Lawyer Javier Perez-Roldan: “The Gender Violence Law protects only women. It is a law that assumes that any infringement by a man against a woman is a result of male dominance. It is a law of author because if it’s a man it is an aggravated crime which is legally absurd…It is clear that this law may violate the European Convention on Human Rights in several articles: Art. 8, Art. 6, Art.14.“
Judge Francisco Serrano (Seville) Serrano has warned about the unfair aspects of the Gender Violence Law and has compared the situation with the Guantanamo detention centre.
