I saw a statistic somewhere that said 3% of accused rapists are innocent and falsely accused, 3% of rapists are actually convicted, and 96% walk free. And that statistic makes no sense to me for the following reasons.

Firstly, the innocent percentage means PROVEN innocent. There’s very likely a large portion of the free and convicted rapists were actually falsely accused. A portion of those convicted rapists COULD be innocent and just falsely accused. There is no way they could come up with an accurate statistic for it.

I don’t understand why people believe people accused of rape should be considered guilty until proven innocent.
