They stated, "Every year since 1989, in about 25 percent of the sexual assault cases referred to the FBI where results could be obtained, the primary suspect has been excluded by forensic DNA testing. Specifically, FBI officials report that out of roughly 10,000 sexual assault cases since 1989, about 2,000 tests have been inconclusive, about 2,000 tests have excluded the primary suspect, and about 6,000 have "matched" or included the primary suspect."
The authors continued, "these percentages have remained constant for 7 years, and the National Institute of Justice's informal survey of private laboratories reveals a strikingly similar 26 percent exclusion rate."

Convictions (various crimes) per 1,000 offenders (England and the U.S.) See figure in upper right corner.
ridiculous - pardon my misspelling.
"More common than thought"? More common than thought by whom? Certainly the doctrine of the libbies is that no woman would ever lie about such a thing, so maybe false rape accusations are more common than thought by libbies. But I doubt normal people would be surprised if the truth were knowable and known.

"My suspension of skepticism ends right there, but there's much more, including a prior rape claim by the "victim" at another college a few years earlier. Same victim, same scenario, except that she recanted in that case, saying she wasn't sure it was a rape because she was drunk. All the preceding was ruled inadmissible during Gorman's trial thanks to rape shield laws".
The important fact is.. they don't care that the public knows they are lying. "Pig Napoleon" is happy, happy, happy!
I remember reading about that at the time. IIRC she didn't even say "Stop". She said "I have to go home, I have to go home" and it took him 15-20 seconds to translate from female into plain English that she wanted him to stop. Moral of the story "No means no but almost anything else can mean no too".
It's about time that folks start poking holes in the feminist lie that false accusations are common.
Want to stop them? Charge people who make false accusations. In Maine whenever that is brought up in the legislature, the usual suspects - far-left loonies and radical fems pull out all the stops to kill the bill.
It's about power and control, friends, that's all it is.
Some jurisdictions are claiming that if a woman is intoxicated, then she can't give consent, and therefore any sex would be rape.
I can't figure out - what if the MAN is intoxicated? Then is it rape, too?
"the feminist lie that false accusations are uncommon"
I did.
Alleged Rape Victim Admits Making Up Story
Even when the "alledged victim" is a proven liar, the MSM still "values her privacy" and her name is not mentioned.
Then she gets a slap on the wrist (probably probation).
When in fact she should get the same sentence the "alledged rapist" would have received if found guilty.
But did the Express News ID the lying SOS? Nope? Did the DA prosecute her? Nope again.
Now fast forward to this year. San Antonio just selected a new Police Cheif. Did Jerry Pittman (the accused) get the job?
HA HA HA (I laugh sarcastically) No Way! I am totally convinced the false charges against him had plenty to do with his being passed over.
Humans are imperfect.
Give anyone an opportunity to abuse any law, no matter how "well-intentioned"...
Some always will. 100% of the time.

You can say that again!
I would imagine that a 20% rate of falsehood would be pretty much the norm in most crimes....probably a low ball figure for some crimes.
I wish the women haters would get off this " false rape " accusation diatribe and their phoney baloney so-called statistics, because they're certainly are statistics out there that say MOST rape victims never even report what happened to them.....
