A review of research finds that the prevalence of falsely reporting sexual violence is between 2 percent and 10 percent.
The following studies support these findings:
A multi-site study of eight U.S. communities
including 2,059 cases of sexual assault found
a 7.1 percent rate of false reports (Lonsway,
Archambault, & Lisak, 2009).
A study of 136 sexual assault cases in Boston
from 1998-2007 found a 5.9 percent rate
of false reports (Lisak et al., 2010).
Using qualitative and quantitative analysis,
researchers studied 812 reports of sexual
assault from 2000-2003 and found a 2.1
percent rate of false reports (Heenan
& Murray 2006).

This whole case is a perfect example of why people don't come forward because in many cases they are the ones that end up getting attacked. People see one case of fake assault allegations and they assume it is a major problem when it isn't so they attack a lot of people who are actually victims. |
