It's an important question. This law did not require a conviction. I don't think most people here would object to convicted rapists being barred from having any custody rights to their children, but the way the law was written it wasn't banning "rapists" it was banning "alleged rapists" from having custody. Regardless of what people think of how common false accusations are, if you tell women "you can get sole custody by accusing the father of rape" you're obviously going to get a lot of false accusations

I think it largely depends on how old the case is. Over time people, especially women, alter the narrative in their memories. This accounts for extreme discrepancies in statistics which ask about whether you have been raped/sexually assaulted in a given period of time. Statistics show women are increasingly likely to say they have been raped the further back in time you go.

This is only one reason there should be a statute of limitations on these matters.

On the numbers, we have no real knowledge. The minimum number is 2% but fair estimates range from 20-40% in general with the highest I've seen being 60%. Unfortunately, it is really hard to know how many were lying and how many dropped the case for other reasons or just never had their case pursued due to lack of evidence. 80% of cases brought to the police are deemed unfounded, a percent of those are just that there was no evidence and some are legitimate lies. And there have been studies done that go through all of those cases to see if they were rightfully judged unfounded and just about all of them were corrected found unfounded by the police.
