| Topic | Feminist tweets that she doesn't care about false sexual assault accusations |
| Doctor Foxx 11/29/17 11:50:15 AM #25: | funkyfritter posted... How often does it happen? I'm curious to see some real stats on the issue. About as often as false reporting for any other crime like robbery, murder, theft, etc. Yet victims of those crimes are not scrutinized in anywhere near the same fashion just for reporting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_accusation_of_rape Worth noting that some areas count valid accusations without enough evidence to convict to be false accusations even though they are likely to be truthful, just not supported by enough to lead to prison time. Police officers generally have also received little to no training on how to deal with sexual assault victims. Their personal bias on how they think rape victims should act will influence their willingness to even consider the reports made and follow up on the matter. Officers that are properly trained will encounter far fewer dismissed cases and report fewer false accusations. Which means many cases that are legitimate are shot down by law enforcement without adequate understanding and training. It's also worth noting that many people that are dismissed as being false accusers (some even being charged with crimes as a false accuser) are vindicated when their assailant is later charged for similar crimes against other people. --- Never write off the Doctor! ...
