Police across the country keep stats on false rape reports. In general they find between 40-45%, so this report number falls within those stats.
40-45% are false.
And yet Title IX — threatening of cutting off ALL federal funds — was used to bully colleges into using a lesser standard of proof.
Granted, college kids aren’t going to jail for being kicked out of school. They just have their good names, careers and livelihoods destroyed.
I understand that, but as someone that used to take those reports and talk to ‘victims’, I’m of the opinion that the number is actually higher.
As a friend of mine, who also conducts these investigations once told me, once told of the term, Regrettable Sex. It was a term the folks, in the agency my friend worked for, used to describe reports. You’d probably be amazed at how easily some can come up with all sorts of stuff to try to explain their dalliances to their boyfriends or husbands.
But we are told it is very rare. 2% rare...
