Rape is a terrible crime. It should be prosecuted to
the fullest extent of the law. But false rape charges are a troublesome reality.
At least 10 percent and perhaps as many as 40 percent of all rape charges are
lies. Research results In the Midwest:
· 41% of the total rape cases
were recanted by the alleged victim during a 9-year study in a metropolitan Midwestern
town.
·45 of the 109 complainants admitted that no rape had occurred
in period.
The incidence figure (from 1978 to 1987) of false rape varied from
year to year and ranged from a low of ·27% to a high of 70%
The
alleged rape victims admitted that they had made the false rape charges for three
reasons:
· to create an alibi,
· to get revenge,
·
to get attention or sympathy.
Educated women lie, too....
· University
women were as likely to file a false rape charge as a valid charge. Other reports
from university police agencies support these findings (Jay, 1991). Source: Eugene

Why women make false rape charges
· Common reasons given by women who falsely accused rape were
"spite or revenge," and to compensate for feelings of guilt or shame. Source:
(Forensic Science Digest, vol. 11. no. 4, December 1985).
· ·
False accusers were motivated by a need for an alibi or a desire for revenge in
the study byEugene J. Kanin. Source: Archives of Sexual Behavior, Vol. 23, No.
1, 1994). Kanin was once well known and lauded by the feminist movement for his
groundbreaking research on male sexual aggression.
· · The need
for attention: as in the case of the Detroit woman who gave police details about
her rapist and his truck, then admitted she had lied: it never happened. Source:

D.A. Affirms False Rape Charges
A female defense attorney
saw it happen
"Not too long ago, I represented an Ivy League
honor student who'd spent a weekend at a beach party coupled with a woman to whom
he was introduced by a mutual friend. According to the client - and about a dozen
witnesses - the two seemed to really "hit it off." When the party ended on Sunday
night, they said their good-byes, like everybody else, and maybe even promised
half-heartedly to call each other. "Imagine my client's surprise when on Tuesday,
he received an angry call from his paramour's estranged boyfriend - a boyfriend
whose existence she failed to disclose when the pair were kissing beyond the crackle
of a bonfire. "Of course, this was nothing compared to his total shock when, two
weeks later, he received a warrant in the mail commanding his appearance in court
on felony rape charges." --Defense Attorney Jonna Spilbor Source: http://writ.news.findlaw.com/commentary/20030811_spilbor.html
