A man who was jailed but later cleared over false sexual assault claims by a woman has said people who make up allegations should be named publicly.
Warren Blackwell, of Woodford Halse, Northamptonshire, who spent over three years in jail, said the law had failed.
"Her anonymity remains, protected by a law designed to protect genuine victims of rape," he told BBC Radio 4's Today.
Ministers are looking at alternatives to the law, but one women's group said a change would be a "national scandal".
Mr Blackwell was convicted of indecent assault at Northampton Crown Court in 1999 and spent three years and four months in jail.
His conviction was quashed last year by the Court of Appeal and the judges recommended that details of his accuser be circulated among police forces to avoid similar cases in the future.
"The law makes no allowances to name and shame false accusers," Mr Blackwell told Today.
"For men like me, who have been the victims of a false allegation, the law has failed.
"If justice is going to be even-handed and applied to everyone equally, then the law has to change."
Annie Johnston, who acted as Mr Blackwell's barrister, said judges should have the power to stop people making up allegations that are completely unfounded.
"In cases where fabrication is overwhelming, the complainant is clearly lying, then the trial just should have the discretion to lift the anonymity," she said. (more)
