There is a problem
http://www.falserape.net/liesandrape.htmLinda Fairstein, a former head of the sex-crimes unit of the Manhattan District Attorney's office, has criticized the doctrinaire belief that women never lie. Writing in Cosmopolitan magazine, Fairstein quoted FBI statistics on unfounded claims of forcible rape. These reports, she wrote, occur at rates as high as 9%, compared to between 1.5% and 5% of reports submitted in all other criminal categories. She continued,
"Having worked in this field for decades, I've found this phenomenon especially painful to witness. Innocent men are arrested and even imprisoned as a result of bogus claims, and the precious resources of criminal justice agencies are wasted..[T]hese falsehoods trivialize the experience of every rape survivor." 2
A June 3, 2004, Washington Post article titled "Sexual Assaults in Army on Rise" reported the results of a five year study of reports of abuse. The number of "unfounded" cases tripled from 48 to 157 between 1999 and 2003. An Army spokeswoman could not explain why. It is time to find out.
Every allegation is different, and appearances often deceive. Certain indicators should be investigated in order to separate truthful allegations from fabricated ones. Primary motives for false reports, which are not uncommon, include a) Jealousy or Revenge; b) Need for an Alibi; and c) Emotional Problems/Desire for Attention. None of these should be a surprise.
