    If you rape someone your prospects of being convicted are (disgracefully) between 3 and 5%. So, in short, no.https://www.thetimes.co.uk/magazine/the-sunday-times-magazine/falsely-accused-rape-men-reveal-deepest-shame-gvxh88f9w …

        In fact, page seven suggests conviction rates of 1.1% to 1.7%: ie, lower than I gave. Apologieshttps://twitter.com/JolyonMaugham/status/985570417896316929?s=19 …

        With respect Sir, I speak from experience (not personal, but someone close to me) - think for just ONE second you were falsely accused. 1) How do you think the sytem would treat you. 2) How do you think your relatives/friends/colleagues would treat you. 3) Would you ever recover?

        Of course false accusations are hugely damaging and there is a case (on balance, I am against) for anonymity for the accused. But scale of the problem pales next to the tens of thousands of women (and some men) whose lives are destroyed by a system that permits rape with impunity

        False allegations of rape run between 2 and 8%. 8% is an incredibly generous margin and it's likely to be much closer to 8. That means most rapes reported, happened. False allegations of car crime much higher.

        The argument is that few are reported and proceeded against. I assume.
