I agree I hated how it was handled, but it seems to be a common storyline in entertainment, a woman is hurt and has to forgive the male character for the male character to "grow" and be redeemed. How about just once the male character grows emotionally in prison?
Interesting side fact the percentage of false rapes reported to authorities are approx 3% (from the FBI stats), this is the same rate as other falsely reported crimes (theft or criminal damage for example) yet the media coverage is disproportionally higher making it seem like these are common cases. For every story you see reported about a rape claim and the reaction that the accuser is lying try to find a case where someone reported an item stolen, or vandalism and see how many people react that the accuser is lying.
