So so many false reports. It’s awful crime when it does happen but majority or complaints are false or not accurate, which makes it hard on the real victims.

Crap like this would sicken you! Takes away from the genuine cases & Someone’s good name can be ruined long before it makes it anywhere near a Criminal Court or before the person reporting owns up!! Not on!!

I don’t know where you get ‘a majority are false’. I don’t think that is true. However I do agree that the crime is very difficult to disprove. If consensual sex has occurred and the woman later claims rape, proving or disproving the rape is very problematic. It seems that the burden of proof is raised for this type of crime. I think quite rightly so.

The majority of cases are real and they aren’t even reported because it’s just way too hard to get a conviction. It is not the case that the majority are false, and this is important to state because it’s already hard enough.

But those who falsely accuse people of sexual assault should not be tolerated, it’s terrible that it goes on at all.
