Interesting, although it includes this nonsense:
“The scenario Webbon is imagining is rare: According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center the incidence of false report of sexual assault is between 2 and 8 percent.”
William Collins estimated in The Empathy Gap (2021) that 77 percent of rape allegations made to the police in the UK were false, basing the figure on official statistics.

Justice for Men & Boys 
Hi Mike,
As a man who was falsely accused of rape, those “statistics” boil my urine
But the response is simple. If only 2% to 8% of rape accusations are false, then that must surely mean 98% to 92% of rape accusations are true as we know percentages have to add up to 100.
BUT if 98% to 92% of rape accusations are true, then why is the prosecution AND CONVICTION rate for rape not at 98% to 92%????
This is when false accusation deniers realise their stats can be used against them.
Last time I heard, only 2.6% of rape acccusations in England & Wales even go to trial, so the convicton rate would be even lower.
I always stress I want rapists to face the full force of the law, but if 97.4% of accusations in this country do not go to trial, and the bar for prosecuting rape is so low any uncorroborated he-said she-said is in law enough to convict someone, then I have to think that not only does this mean these accusations are not believable but I am starting to wonder how many accusations fail to proceed to trial because the accused has evidence that undermines the rape complainant.
There is something going on behind these statistics, the CPS charging guide for rape makes it clear that corroboration is NOT needed to prosecute rape, so why with so low a bar are the vast majority of accusations being refused??
Thanks

Thanks Dougie, interesting question to which I don’t have the answer. If memory serves, The Empathy Gap has data on the issue.

Yes it does. One thing is that publicity campaigns lead to complaints of rape when in fact no such thing has happened. With “sexual assault” being defined as “unwanted compliments” or “looking” by feminist propaganda it shouldn’t surprise that much of what gets reported to police is just plain rubbish. It is a good point that as the legal definition of “Rape” expanded to merely require proof of penetrative sex “without consent”. And the population has grown considerably. Yet the number of convictions has remined fairly consistent, indeed has fallen in recent years. The same is true of DV. In both cases it suggests that the reporting is the problem, driven by campaigns, usually following high profile or celebrity cases. With demands the police log every daft report its no surprise there is a huge mis match with reality. Similarly in the 30 years it has been illegal there have only been 5 cases prosecuted for FGM (only two leading to convictions). Despite huge publicity and at least two nationwide training programmes rolled out to all public services(I attended both). And though there have been three “moral panics” (since the first in 2000) about “date rape” following concealed injections at bars or parties , there has been no prosecutions nor indeed any evidence found by any Police force despite the 1000s of “reports” and huge pressure on the Police to find some cases.
A great deal of what gets reported would simply be ignored by Police in former times as nonsense. Whereas now everything is recorded, even “non crime hate incidents” which aren’t even lawful!

Also interesting is that the Pastor draws attention to Deuteronomy. One of the blatant lies peddled by feminists is that rape was and is “condoned” by “the Patriarchy”. Because clearly the Jewish and Christian patriarchies (and no doubt Islamic and other religions and philosophies that guided lawmaking) took it incredibly seriously prescribing capital and other harshest punishments for the crime. Far from being “condoned” its been one of the most harshly punished crimes for 1000s of years.
The passages from Deuteronomy are also illustrative of why it was considered so heinous. Not only for the actual assault but for the likely effect on the victim, in effect making it very difficult indeed for her to find a husband … absolutely vital in a society without welfare etc. because the result would likely be destitution.
Following the feminist inspired “sexual revolution” the latter effect doesn’t exist, for both sexes are encouraged to experiment and express themselves and expected to have had at least a few sexual partners and often many. While the legal definition, in a society that grants itself sexual license, has become sex that was without “consent”, even if the parties are in a sexual relationship or generally “hook up” to have sex. So while the word “Rape” is bandied about as if its still the heinous crime that sullies a woman’s life prospects the reality juries are often faced with is draconian punishments for situations where two promiscuous people have had sex while drunk or otherwise intoxicated on a particular occasion. That this sort of circumstance doesn’t seem to fit into the ringing condemnation of Deuteronomy, from a society where sex outside marriage was forbidden, is at the root of the so called “myths” juries believe.

And a propaganda piece by our friends at the BBC
As I will always say, if the CPS will prosecute rape on an uncorroborated he-said she-said (since the requirement for corroboration in sexual offences was abolished in 1994) then why are 98% of rape complaints failing at the first hurdle? But they are still being recorded as rapes so counted in the ONS statistics
What are they not telling us about the CPS decisions not to prosecute?
Thanks

Rape myths and what we’re getting wrong about sexual assaulthttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8djdm198r4o
From being asked what they were wearing to having their bodies critiqued, rape victims are still subjected to old-fashioned myths.

I could not condone murder/excution etc for false accusations,
however I would stand by the equivalent sentencing including the loss of anonymity. But then again I know that lenient sentencing would kick in and thus reduced or worse, suspended sentencing.
rape is a vile act regardless of the gender of both the perpetrator or victim, but the current system undermines those who are genuine not only making it gendered( only women can be raped thus no equality), but also the burden of proof and loss of anonymity. no wonder there is a great divide between men and women…
the legal system in the anglosphere ( and the west) needs dragging into the 21st century…
