Never mind that a large portion of all "rapes" are either outright lies or later recanted....

According to former Colorado state prosecutor, Craig Silverman, up to 45% of rape accusations could be fallacious. He went on to say that he was amazed by the amount of false rape accusations that are made by women.

“During my time as a prosecutor who made case filing decisions, I was amazed to see all the false rape allegations that were made to the Denver Police Department. It was remarkable and surprising to me. You would have to see it to believe it. Any honest veteran sex assault investigator will tell you that rape is one of the most falsely reported crimes that there is. A command officer in the Denver Police sex assaults unit recently told me he placed the false rape numbers at approximately 45 percent.” [1]

Charles P. McDowell and Eugene J. Kanin

Vast amounts of studies have been conducted at university facilities and the military, with some publications obtaining a large amount of data from police reports. All studies revealed similar findings. Charles P McDowell and Eugene J. Kanin have produced the most comprehensive and reliable studies so far, using the most reliable methods to collect data:

Charles P McDowell's initial study, which was produced within the military, created some confusion due to his methods producing non-conclusive results in 46% of cases. In further studies he altered the methods used so that the results were conclusive. McDowell's follow-up studies gained qualification-status from other investigators. McDowell also took his study outside of the military by examining police reports from a major Midwestern city and a major southwestern city. His study confirmed that 60% of rape accusations were false. [2]
Eugene J. Kanin's studies covered a period of 9 years (1978 until 1987) -- the time when rape was a heavily debated political issue. The study was performed in a city small enough to allow for careful investigation but large enough to produce a useful sample of 109 cases; was remote from the extreme crime conditions found in large communities; was not part of a resort area, meaning the majority of the population were local residents and NOT tourists. Unfounded accusations were separated from false accusations, which allowed for more conclusive results. [2]
Eugene J. Kanin followed his basic report with studies performed in two Midwestern state universities. Conducted over 3 years, the studies concluded in 1988. These studies revealed that at least 50% of the 64 reported rape accusations were false. This finding was quite important, as a considerable amount of women from the main report were members of the lower socio-economic demographic -- indicating that false accusations could be linked to income and educational status. Eugene J. Kanin checked figures from university police departments, and followed it up by stating; "quite unexpectedly then, we find that these university women, when filing a rape complaint, were as likely to file a false as a valid charge". [2]

Another study (Jay 1991) produced similar findings to Eugene J. Kanin's study. [2]

At the same time, I don't think she should get off too easily, since she has been an adult for a number of years and could have come forward much sooner.

And especially when the reason for not pressing charges is that they don't want to scare girls from coming forward. If our laws were like that all around, there would be a whole lot more people getting away with crimes

And, that has absolutely no logic. First, if a victim doesnt go forward... it more likely than not has nothing to do with what they may have heard about in the news. It's more much personal than that. Most victims know their assailant, so the reason they dont come forward has to do with social ties, not how a prosecutor handled a lying meth head 15 states away.

That is the only reason I can see for not pressing charges [that she was so young], but damn.

ll the decision not to prosecute does is demonstrate that females have incredible leverage with claims of rape. They can make the allewgation without fear of consequences. This will not prevent women from reporting actual assaults, it will only encourage more false reports.
