Now, before I begin this, I want to make known that in no way am I trying to defend people who DO falsely accuse rape, or take away from the victims of false rape accusations. Let that be clear. All I want to do here is help you with a stat so that y'all aren't quoting something that can be easily debunked.

The stat I'm referring to is the "8% of rapes reported are false accusations according to the FBI". The thing is, though, that the actual stat is that 8% are UNFOUNDED. This is not the same thing. From the wiki article

This statistic is almost meaningless, as many of the jurisdictions from which the FBI collects data on crime use different definitions of, or criteria for, "unfounded." That is, a report of rape might be classified as unfounded (rather than as forcible rape) if the alleged victim did not try to fight off the suspect, if the alleged perpetrator did not use physical force or a weapon of some sort, if the alleged victim did not sustain any physical injuries, or if the alleged victim and the accused had a prior sexual relationship. Similarly, a report might be deemed unfounded if there is no physical evidence or too many inconsistencies between the accuser's statement and what evidence does exist. As such, although some unfounded cases of rape may be false or fabricated, not all unfounded cases are false

So yeah. Be careful when you do cite this stat is what I'm saying here. False rape accusation is a problem, but it's not one you're gonna fix by citing incorrect stats, ya dig?

tl;dr - Don't cite the 8% of rape accusations are false thing - it's incorrect.
