> In other words, while 2-8% of rape allegations are false (according to the article),
When i read articles about rate of false rape allegations, the established percentage was really a percentage of rape allegations that were assessed 'false' by police during investigation. Most rape allegations were just lacking evidence on both sides (not enough evidence for prosecution, not enough evidence for rejecting as false), so they are not counted in this statistic.
