[Serious] PSA: Rape Apologetics

[Rev. Rye]

A couple of you are really hung up on the concept that people just falsely accuse others of rape on the regular.

I once was falsely accused of rape. When i went to a lawer he told me: "I am doing this for over 20y now, and so far i think two of my clients were innocent. You are the second".

For the record, the largest study on the subject I've seen suggests that the rate of false accusations of rape is 5.5%. Nowhere near enough to treat this as a default assumption, but, in my eyes, too prevalent to just write this off as something rare.

To put this into perspective, if the stats from RAINN and the study I linked to are any indication, for every false rape accusation, 60 actual rapes happen (and 40 aren't reported to the cops).
