  1. False accusations are not incredibly rare. Those are questionable figures that are incredibly hard to quantify. Rape and sexual assault crimes in general are hard to count because most of them occur between people who know each other. Which makes it very, very hard to determine the difference between actual rape and sex where there wasn't an explicit agreement to have sex. The two are very different morally and ethically. As far as it being incredibly rare, I had a hard time finding the conviction rate in the US for proceedings that end in trials, but in the UK, it's less than 2/3 of trials for sexual assault wind up with a conviction, meaning that some portion of those 37% that resulted in aquitals were false allegations, we don't really know how many, but legally speaking, the crimes aren't considered to happen. In the US, the numbers are hard to find, but it's a similar problem, these are cases where there might have been a rape, usually the parties have some relationship with each other, but there isn't any evidence to assume that the crime happened beyond the evidence to assume that it didn't happen and it shouldn't be claimed that those incidents aren't false allegations as it's equally valid to suggest that they are. But, doing that would lead to a number that's several orders of magnitude higher. So there's pressure to not admit the truth on that.
