Which appears to be an honest attempt to get to the facts. Until we get to this:

The closest we can get to an official figure for the number of false rape allegations is how many people were prosecuted for perverting the course of justice or wasting police time after making a rape claim.

(No this isn't the closest. Because, as a matter of policy, false rape claims are very rarely prosecuted.)

The latest data on this is from a 17-month period in 2011 and 2012, when the CPS prosecuted 35 people for making false allegations of rape.

(Which, in one year I looked at, was one quarter of cases listed. Also see below.)

Undoubtedly, there will be other cases of false allegations being made where there was not enough evidence to bring a prosecution of wasting police time or perverting the course of justice. But we don’t have data to quantify this.

(But we can make an educated guess at it. For example, see above. For another example, about 14% of rape allegations are put into a category termed “no crime situations”. These are cases where a woman has claimed she was raped, where the police have investigated, and where they have discovered WITHOUT DOUBT that the woman wasn't raped. In other words, fancy language is used to shunt false allegations out of the category they should be in. Added to this, claims of rape that are dismissed at an early stage are not listed anywhere. And not only that. Some cases are not listed as false accusations when they should be. For example, the de Freitas case, which was listed a rape to begin with, but, when the guy who had been accused was able to show he had not raped the woman and asked the police to change the category of the crime, they refused (presumably to keep their figures up). In another case, mentioned in these pages, a confirmed case of false accusation was not recorded as such but as something else because (the police officer said) another offence was more serious.)

Overall, in the CPS’ view, false allegations of rape are “serious but rare”.

(Only if you massage the figures.)

In addition, of course, the article uses the old trick of claiming the acquittal of an accused does not necessarily mean he was innocent, without, of course, also saying that the 30k odd claims of rape reported to the police each year that do not reach court may very well be false accusations.

In other words, the article is exactly what you would expect from the Cathy Newman Channel.
