From Wikipedia:
“However, in the United States, the FBI Uniform Crime Report in 1996 and the United States Department of Justice in 1997 reported that 8% of accusations for forcible rape had been through investigation determined to be false.”
Still considered a guess.
Recalls one time when I was on Jury Duty and the defense had a female witness who said I know he did not do it because he was not there. A lib on the panel said he believed her because:
“Women never lie”.
The irony was the guy did not commit the crime and we voted to find him innocent albeit one lady was a hold out for six hours saying: “I know he is guilty because he looks guilty”.
After that experience of being foreman, I prayed I was never back on a jury.
I read elsewhere that upwards to sixty percent of rapes reported were false.
Either way, the women who file false rape reports should go to jail and pay heavy punitive damages to the man or men that were falsely accused.
