Our thanks to D for this. He writes:

“Good chance some of these accusations were false. I have read and heard anecdotally over the years a number of men claiming they were falsely accused of sexual offences (mainly rape) killing themselves.

Ashamedly there was a time I thought there was no such thing as a false rape accusation and maybe even worse than that, I assumed if someone accused of such a crime committed suicide it just meant they likely were guilty.

After learning more about male suicides, male neglect, LAWFARE against men in modern society, prevalence of false rape accusations and having experience of mental health in the family,  thankfully (but sadly) I am more in the picture now.

Under legislation each coroner has the power to make recommendations they think could prevent similar deaths in future (prevention of future harm recommendation) I think it is likely an underused power they have.

Also this is the first time I think I have seen it mentioned in an article which is alluding to false rape accusations,  which I think this article is doing without explicitly saying so.

I am in Cumbria myself , I was falsely accused of rape myself many years ago. I will contact this Cumbrian coroner myself about my own experience in the matter.”
