91. This is an interesting Rape stat from the FBI
In the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit’s study of False Allegations conducted in 1983 of 556 rape investigations, a total of 220 (40%) of these reported rapes turned out to be false. Over one fourth of these 556 turned out to be hoaxes.

I think that is pretty important to consider when you are talking about rape.

Also this is even more interesting

Citing a recent USA Today article, discussing the miracle of DNA and FBI studies of sexual assault suspects, DNA testing exonerated about 30 percent to 35 percent of the more than 4,000 sexual assault suspects on whom the FBI had conducted DNA testing over the past three years.

Perhaps the DA should have let the Duke Lacross Team submit to Lie Detector test, because YES the whole team offered to undergo Lie dectector test when the complaint first emerged
