How many % of rape claims are false according to you?

Question

Please don't say those cases are extremely rare.
Only 2-10% of rape claims are REVEALED TO BE FALSE allegations.

REVEALED TO BE

False rape accusations are extremely hard to be proven. So don't cling on the number of false rape accusations. It only shows the cases that were proven to be false.

Thank You!!! Its so refreshing to see a women like you Marish being realistic about this and wanting to have a genuine conversation.

The TURTH is that anyone can claim rape or domestic violence and by and large it is extremely difficult to prove or disprove. This happened to me in my child custody case, her initial fillings claimed that there was no domestic violence in the marriage... but when I contested child custody she claimed domestic violence. There was literally no way for me to disapprove her claims it really came down to how convincing and and creditable she was to the forensic psychologist. In family law cases forensic psychologist purpose is not to prove or disprove the claims but to only to render and opinion on if they delver any merit. The psychologist even said in her report that she could not substantiate my wife's claims but there "SEEMED" to be creditable emotional trauma and that I displayed no degree of compassion or empathy about it.

There have been cases in which one party falsely accused the other of abuse in order to gain unjust advantage during family court proceedings, but the idea that lots of people do is a myth.

Researchers in the two studies followed up on cases where domestic violence had been alleged and tried to determine whether the allegations were true. They found confirming or corroborating evidence of domestic violence in the majority of cases – 63 percent in one study and 74 percent in the other.

So in this study, they could only confirm that there was CORRORATING evidence in 63-75% of the cases and did not distinguish between confirmed or corroborating. That means that over 25% of the cases it could not be proven or disproven... which is a lot higher than 5 to 10%. And collocating evidence is low bar and far from confirming. So that 63-73% would far lower when compared to actually conviction numbers.

There are all types of abuse, from rape to emotional abuse... often the one that is found guilty is the one who acts out violently. But what kind of emotional abuse or trauma did they have to endure before acting out. So many unanswered question and false sigma's assigned to men in these situations. There is literally now way to disprove a false claim with out supporting evidence and what possible evidence can you collect against an accuser other than saying she has no evidence. Unless she admits to lying its literally impossible situation for a man.

How many % of rape claims are false according to you?

www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/10/06/less-than-percent-rapes-lead-felony-convictions-least-percent-victims-face-emotional-physical-consequences/

Here is some statics from the Washington post, out of every 100 estimated rape claims.

- Less than 31% of them are reported to the police.
- Only 5.7% lead to an arrest.
- Only 1.1% of the those have enough "Creditable Evidence" referred to a prosecutor
- Out of that number on.7% lead to a conviction.

So where does that lead us? What do these Numbers really mean?

31 out 100 people that claim rape report them to the police. That means 69 out of ever 100 rape cases go unreported, does this mean that 69 out 100 people are lying, scared to come forward?

Out of the 31 of 100 that do come forward only 5.7 of those lead to an arrest, WHY? Because there is no evidence to support the charge, So that that mean the other 94.3% of the cased that do not result in an arrest are false claims? The rape never happened and the accuser is confused? Or there was there enough circumstantial evidence to make and arrest but the claims did not hold up? Or was it determined that he sex was consensual, but she felt different about it after the fact, but now she is still a victim and we would never punish a victim.

Only.7 out of a 100 lead to an conviction... does that mean that 99.3% of accused rapists walk free or by and large most of these rape claims lack merit?

If talking strictly rape, this is probably fairly accurate, though I'd say the higher end towards 10% is more likely. False accusations are much more likely to happen when a rich and/or famous person is involved, and a decently large number of them will get settled behind closed doors rather than going to court. The vast majority of people are not rich or famous, which greatly reduces the draw to push a false accusation.

Now the only time I really ever knew people involved in these sorts of cases, most of the accusations were not full on rape, but assault or harassment, and all of them were in the military. Probably 2/3 of those were, put nicely, greatly exaggerated and in one case clearly a woman projecting her own aggressive behaviors onto her husband. Almost all of these cases got thrown out by the regular civilian courts, but the military tribunals are a bit different, basically taking a more "guilty until proven innocent" approach along with "whatever is politically convenient." These cases I'm referring to were right in the Apex of MeToo and on the tail end of the sequester, so the military was all too happy to lock up and punish everyone who couldn't prove without a shadow of a doubt that they were innocent in the name of "addressing rape culture."

To give a specific example, there was an NCO in my battalion who was on staff duty one night, and caught a 19 year old female private drinking in the barracks. When he wrote her up for what would become an Article 15 (non-judicial punishment, pretty much the go-to for major infractions), she then accused him of sexual harassment. The thing is, this happened in the hallways which also have 24hr camera monitoring. Even with hard video and choppy audio proof, and witness testimony, the military didn't lock this guy up but they pretty much killed his career over it, which not long after also killed his marriage and family. The severe irony here is that this was also in a time when drinking and substance abuse-related infractions were pretty much the easiest way to get kicked out regardless of how important someone allegedly was, but the woman in this case as far as I know didn't even get the article 15 for underage drinking when the dust settled from this one.

Anonymous survey's on college campuses which are the hot spot for them in the USA suggest between 2% to 6%.

One thing people fail to consider is that many true rape victims never even report it, a very small percentage actually do. Many of those that do report it, can be pressured into recanting it. Which then makes it appear to be a false accusations.

https://www.heraldnet.com/news/rape-wasnt-a-lie-lynnwood-police-now-say/
https://www.heraldnet.com/news/unbelievable-story-of-lynnwood-teens-rape-retold-on-netflix/

Such as this story, she was raped... pressured into recanting, the police didn't investigate and the serial rapist eventually moved to Denver and continued his raping spree.

Had the police believed her, there would of been no new victims from this. Many will say false rape accusations should have the same prison sentence as the rapist would of got if convicted. So what happens when someone is pressured into recanting when they were actually raped and now the rape victim gets sent to prison?

To think all they did was refund her fine and clear her record. Police should also be held accountable for allowing new victims and not doing their job.

So men will think there is 60% or more are fake, but they don't realize a lot pressure can be put on victims to recant or give up. It isn't easy to go to the police in the first place as society will victim blame. It isn't easy to go to court to testify, assuming the police even bring charges and the lawyers decide to pursue.

It really is probably only around the 5% range, so 5 out of every 100 is false.

whirled_up_girl · Accepted Answer

As @aviatortom @ohshee mentioned it would be difficult to know for sure because of the number that goes unreported. What's also disturbing is that as of 2015 there were stil tens of thousands of backlogged rape kits in the U. S. that had been untested.   These can not only help secure a conviction but also exonerate the wrongly accused. Local articles from different cities have also had articles as well about the back log.  Part of the reason I decided not to become a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) nurse   was because I didn't want to deal with the frustation and wasn't sure I could handle it emotionally to be honest once I looked at everything it entailed so I decided to take my nursing career in a different direction.

MCheetah · Answer

I'd guess maybe 15-20% of rape allegations are false, and the woman usually plays mental gymnastics to try to gaslight and convince *herself* she was "raped." Especially all women who have regret sex and drunken consensual sex and try to claim that is "rape."

The thing that pisses me off is, if everything is rape to certain cunts out there, why do they even bother to have sex to begin with? It's like the same logic of flashing expensive jewelry and clothing while out walking alone in the middle of Gary, Indiana at 3am and then getting mad at other people when you get your sh*t stolen. But some women do this all the time and try to call it "victim blaming." F*ck that!

I don't believe people are 100% innocent in cases like this; there's always things someone could've done to minimize or completely reduce their own danger. Trying to dismiss that as "victim blaming" is idiotic. Yes, you dressing like a whore DID contribute to you getting assaulted, even if only by a little; criminals look for easy targets and women who they think society won't miss, like prostitutes and junkies, so dressing like one certainly increased your chances of being targeted.

And yet these women claiming "rape!!!" are also the same lying women willing to hang around and be close to men they would later claim were "rapists." No one ever questions that idiotic logic, though. It's like getting robbed and then going back to the robber, expecting him not to do it again. If a woman is legitimately raped, she immediately goes to the police or tells someone most of the time; she doesn't wait until the perfect opportunity to use it as blackmail and revenge on her "attacker." That's why all that MeToo BS and false accusations against guys like Trump and Cavanaugh pissed me off; it's so transparently fake, and yet idiotic Democrats still believe this nonsense.

Rant over.

cth96190 · Answer

I have read that about half of initial complaints are false.
The 2 per cent figure used by Feminists is the number of false complaints that progress to trial.
A false rape complaint is one of the most vile things that a woman can do.
Such women should receive the prison time that the man would have received (or did receive).
The only way that men can protect themselves is to not date, not have sex, not have relationships, not marry, not be alone with a female and to use a bodycam and/or CCTV to record all interactions with females.
Women lie. A lot.
Feminists have demanded a quota of convictions (typical Marxist mentality). Police in blue cities (and countries) have been suppressing evidence that would have shown a man to be innocent. Men are being sent to prison so that police can achive political targets for their Feminist masters. Truth and justice are not important in the mind of a Feminist.
Being a MGTOW monk and never being alone with a female is the only way that men can protect themselves.
Buy a concealed bodycam and use it.

Femphile_xoxo · Answer

I believe 1-3% of them are falsified, and I think that most false accusations stem from mental illness or incredibly ignorant people.
I also think that people mix sexual assault and sexual harassment. There's a big difference and when people talk about this, they glom them both together to easily dismiss it. Saying they were accused of rape when in reality, they were told to keep their mouth shut because they made a sexually degrading comment or tapped someone's ass.
On top of that, I think folks also need to take into consideration the backlash that victims face. Everyone says that they'll be "canceled" if accused of sexual assault but that's not true. More often than not, victims don't even come forward due to fear of backlash and quite often enough, they're silenced.
Do you really think most people would be willing to deal with the death threats, harassment, people saying they're lying to their face, being fired from their job, and all the other bs they'll face just to be told in court that the person they accused got away with it? I call bs.

blissinanarchy1 · Answer

I was falsely accused of rape. Allegation was that it was consensual at first, she took consent away in the middle of sex, that I pinned her down, she fought me off, started riding me, and performed sexual activities that I didn't even ask for. She even alleged that I "fingered her against her will, while she was showing me how to finger her." I was still charged. I did 18 months in jail. Covid kept pushing trial back ans my bail was too high. I was found completely innocent by a jury of 7 women and 5 men. She wasn't punished. False accusations of rape are actually VERY common. We as a society deny it, because if we're brutally honest, if we accept that it's frequently lied about, then the women who are ACTUALLY raped stand no chance of being believed. I seen a law firm say 20% of rape claims are false. But the statistics are only taking into account where the lie is so ridiculous the male isn't charged. Testimony alone is enough to convict. As a female, it may seem that rape isn't prosecuted seriously, but as someone who had to defend myself in court, I promise you it is. Prosecutors don't fucking care if your innocent. They want convictions.

Anonymous · Answer

Personally I have no idea but in many western countries such as USA, Germany, UK and France, the conviction rate is only about 1-5%. The highest number of rapes are committed in these first world countries and the statistics also show this but the numbers shown in the ‘statistics’ are too low. I’m pretty sure the actual number of rapes committed in these countries is more than 50 times the number given by the so called ‘statistics’.

I’d say these four countries are the most dangerous for women. But what I will also say is that the highest number of fake rape accusations are also probably made in these countries only.

The people in first world countries are becoming so ‘liberal’ that they’re destroying their own society because when people of a country have all the basic rights and necessities in place and there are not many real problems left to tackle in the society then the people especially the ‘liberals’ make some problems up. They create a ‘fake enemy’ to fight against because these people can’t live without stirring the pot.

With that said I’m pretty sure it’s these so called ‘liberals’ who are mostly responsible for making false accusations of rape but the thing is, first world countries are leading the world in terms of the number of women getting raped. The most number of women are raped in these countries and the most number of false accusations are also made in these countries.

bamesjond0069 · Answer

I am personally aware of three rape claims. All three were proved 100% false. One woman made it up to cover cheating and admitted it. One woman used it as blackmail to try and get a guy to be her boyfriend and then realized that wasn't a good idea and then was caught trying to extort money from him. So all the messages were saved and made public and it was obvious asf. And the third just felt like it was rape even though she verbally consented to him.

loveslongnails · Answer

I personally don't have any access to numbers about false rape claims. I found this on line. I'm sure I can find information that says otherwise as well. Who do you choose to believe? It would take a lot of research, but you "can't make up your own facts" about this and say "according to me" or "I believe that... blah, blah, blah is true", without having a ton of data.

I would say at least 1 in 10. Or more. An unsettling amount. Enough that it belittles the trauma and experience of rape victims.
I struggle because I have been on the side of victims. But I also have enough positive males in my life and recognize the harm that can come from one false accusation.

TonyV · Answer

Way to many, the real problem is there is virtually no punishment for the monsters that lie about something so serious.

I think any bitch that lies about it and proven to be lying should get a longer sentence than the person they nearly wrongfully sent to jail.

But what is more disturbing is how many women get raped and they do not report it that drives me crazy I can understand the reasons why maybe but when a girl does not report it allowing that person to do it again I mean I understand completely kind of why the girl would not want to do it but by God she has to do it it wasn't her fault she has to do it to get these these people off the street the last thing you want is to have then do it again to somebody

motownplayer2000 · Answer

False rape claims, sexual harassment and assault claims all happen a lot more than we think.. but no one truly questions it. Usually if a woman cries Sexual assault or rape on someone they are immediately ruined. Careers usually over, cancelled from society.. the whole 9. If it’s proven they did it, yes that all should happen. But I’ve learned to not jump at any little accusation.. what is perceived as one thing sometimes isn’t it at all..

Personal experience, I’ve witnessed people at a party get super intimate. Girl gets up on a dude, dancing and whatever.. dude refuses to buy her a drink or blows her off, she claims sexual harassment.. don’t know if it’s to save face cause it was a large group of people or her ego was hurt.. but that’s not right. That’s not all cases.. but it’s these that question the validity of a lot of other accusations

DWornock · Answer

A woman would fight like a wildcat to prevent a guy from raping her 7 year daughter. She would bite, hit, and scratch to the death or at least until she was knocked unconscious. Therefore, if she is truly a rape that is what she would do unless he had a knife at her throat and she was in terror of her life. In such cases, there plenty of evidence that she was raped such as being beaten bloody and a false accusation wouldn't apply.

Unless it was rape by stranger in which case she wouldn't even know his name, if there is no physical harm and there no other evidence other then her word against his. It should not be a criminal matter and her recourse would be to sue him in civil court.

purplepoppy · Answer

To me rape is being forced to sex under the the threat of harm. When I hear stuff like "was I raped" I cringe because you should know. The problem is rape is now so loosely defined you can change your mind a week later and make a rape claim. The fact only a small percentage of claims even make it to court suggests to me the percentage of false claims I'd very high.

Very rare female rape victims have to courage to report it. I would really appreciate if women come forward in this area.

IceCreamSandwich · Answer

Probably 10% or less. I can't think of any reason to make a false accusation that would be worth going to court over. Heck, a lot of people don't even decide that TRUE accusations are worth going to court over. So I don't think very many people fake it.

Anonymous · Answer

In my country it’s estimated at around 10% for ones that are proven false. It often doesn’t escalate to a legal level though, girls throw these accusations around like candy. I’ve been accused twice, both times I had never so much as looked at these women wrong, both times the women had a thing for me and had made sexual advances on me which I did not reciprocate in any way. Jealous whores do this all the time. Then there are the drunk whores, who someone I know had a terrible experience with and was booted from his school. None of these situations went legal, they were obviously false claims, but that didn’t matter. The ones against me were less than nothing because the situation was non professional, but in a professional place it could ruin a career

Anonymous · Answer

It’s hard to know for sure. But I did see a FBI statistic that it was around 8%.

I got a feeling they have skyrocketed in the recent years. Feminists now believe that “regret is rape”. Funny I have later regretted sleeping with a few women but I would never in a million years get away with calling that “rape”.

ArtemisSilver · Answer

It's pretty hard to get a fixed number because it often turns into a he said she said with inconclusive evidence.

But as someone who's suffered a great deal due to a false accusation I would like there to be a harsher penalty for making a false report if it can be proven false.

I would suspect that there are a fair few false reports made as a tactic of abuse and character assassination. Women can be abusers too.

Technically every unproven case of rape is false. Thus about 95% of rape claims are false.

But the caveat is that unproven does not necessarily mean false claim. Rape is just among the hardest crimes to prove is all.

Anonymous · Answer

Rape allegations are the #1 falsified criminal charge in the justice system. It's thought that 1 in 8 are false/unfounded, with around half of those proven to be false. In 2020, there were over 126,000 reported cases of rape, which means around 15,750 were false and around 8,000 proven to be.

15,000-16,000 men accused of a heinous crime they didn't commit per year.

PerfectDark_Joe · Answer

I think it is slowly becoming more and more common.
The fact is there is a great deal of prestige to be gained in being a victim.
Lots of people use it as a way to draw attention to themselves, or to harm others.
We live in a society that services victims, and so there is a desire to be that.
I wouldn't be surprised if a quarter of rape claims are false.

Yeah it's hard because there isn't just one right answer to all of it. No matter how low it is, it still makes it harder for real rape victims to get help and is part of the reason why there are some actual rapists running free. People who claim false rape should get the same punishment as rapists. I wish we can pit the 2 groups together and send them to an island prison

It’s unclear. 2-10% are provable to be false, yes. But I’ve seen studies that suggest the number of *likely* false claims could be as high as 45%.
