14. False accusations are few and far.

I'm truly sorry for what happened to you. Did you ever get a chance to express it to him later how violated you felt? I think it is far easier to wash your hands and say you lied than to go face a very critical public about your rape, this I think is one reason women will back out of an accusation. I also note that you said your niece had said yes many times and when being shamed she called rape. I wanted to point out that woman can say yes many times and still be raped by that same man. In fact, a woman can be in a relationship and even married and still be raped. No is no, simple as that.
