IT’S A TRAGEDY
Nobody knows exactly how often false accusations of sexual crimes happen. The research is varied. Some data suggests between 2%-10%[1]. Some estimates are much higher.[2] Regardless of what percentage is correct, or the reasons it happens[3], we know that like rape, one false accusation against an innocent person is too many. The impact is devastating. Unfortunately, our system of criminal justice, our politicians and our media frequently fall short of treating the problem seriously. One woman actually made 15 false claims of rape before legal action was taken against her.[4] She is by no means alone in getting a pass.
It is in the public interest to create and permanently maintain a spotlight on this problem and the devastating consequences for victims.
