For once I have to agree with Cassius. Even the Bible mentions the story of Potipher's wife getting mad and falsely accusing Joseph of raping her in Genesis (40 I believe?).

Maybe you should re-read what I wrote again. If it was in the Bible back then, somebody had to be aware of it.





Are you going to get on the answer below mine for using a Bible story, or are you only criticizing men for it?

Sorry ProfessorC, I don't mean to call you out on this one.
I doubt that was the first false allegation. You would have to look at older civilisations, like the roman empire or even further back.
