About half of rape allegations reported to police are already false

It seems like this number varies from 1% to 70% depending on what measurements you take. Rape is nearly impossible to prove or disprove, as the action usually happens in private and even if there's DNA evidence, you can just say it was consensual, so I'm not sure how you can get to the matter that any percent are true or false with any certainty.

Maybe the complainant said there was no rape after being intimidated, or deciding that the legal battle isn't worth it?
