In reply to the discussion: Would a woman ever falsely accuse somebody of rape? [View all]brewens
(13,583 posts)56. My next door neighbor falsely claimed rape but didn't accuse anyone specifically. It got me
rousted out of bed by the cops and questioned though. I had a poker game earlier and she told them it was a party. The cops looked me over and I didn't match her description fortunately. Neither did any of me guests.
A guy staying in a motor home a block away that I knew did match the description. He never occurred to me at the time and I don't know who told the cops about him. He ended up downtown being interrogated.
The girl had mental problems and it turned out her and her boyfriend broke a window getting into her apartment when she locked herself out. She concocted that story to avoid getting in trouble with the woman that owned her apartment building. I shit you not. Just for that.

There's at least one published NIH research study that says "yes," a woman might.
