Ah.....the 40% number is not a statistic. It was based on a small segment of data in a midwest town from 78-84. There are no statistics on "false rape" as best I can tell.

According to a study conducted by Eugene Kanin (search) of Purdue University, the correct figure may rise to the 40 percent range. Kanin examined 109 rape complaints registered in a Midwestern city from 1978 to 1987. Of these, 45 were ultimately classified by the police as "false." Also based on police records, Kanin determined that 50 percent of the rapes reported at two major universities were "false."
Some universities have "hardship" exemptions for exams.
