(edited title) False allegations of rape and domestic violence are few and far between

116. You are conflating two different things.

It would hardly have to be a massive number of rapes being unprosecuted for lying to make the numbers work. Let me use numbers to illustrate. Say you have 2000 rapes of which 1000 are prosecuted and 1000 aren't. Of the 1000 prosecuted, 6 will have been lying (.6%). For the real number of lying to be 3% over all there would be 60 such rapes (3% of 2000) leaving 54 of the 1000 non prosecuted to be lying. That is only 5.4% which is hardly massive. If the ratio is more like the figures we have been given for prosecuted vs non prosecuted say 5000 total with 1000 prosecuted, then the numbers are even less massive. Here you would have a total of 150 cases of lying of which 144 weren't prosecuted which is just over 4%. Now I admit to having no proof that the numbers work out the way I have laid them out. But I would have to think that there would be more cases of lying among those not prosecuted vs those that were prosecuted if for no other reason the fact defendants may have alibis when the accuser is lying.
