It's very difficult to come by certifiable numbers. Here are a few sources that shed light on the issue.

8% of rape reports are provably false: http://www.ndaa.org/pdf/the_voice_vol_3_no_1_2009.pdf

http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/416536/how-common-are-false-rape-charges-really-jason-richwine shows only 35% go to formal charges.

I read a feminist article over this a few days ago, but it's in Portuguese.
https://aosfatos.org/noticias/dado-que-diz-que-80-das-acusacoes-de-estupro-sao-falsas-nao-tem-amparo-oficial/

A good number is something between two and ten percent being false allegations. This is, when a woman goes to the police and says a man raped her when she knows he didn't. Accusations on social media are certainly a lot more common.
A much higher number will pop up when the woman believes she was raped but in the end, the man is acquitted because he couldn't possibly know she wasn't consenting. Around here it happens a lot since we do hold our drunkards fully responsible for their actions.
When you look at custodian mothers accusing fathers of abuse or some sort of sexual misconduct seeking to reduce visitations, shit is so bad authorities in Brazil assume they're lying. Numbers vary between 50% and 80%.

Some stuff the article quotes in English is here. Some data I brought up there come from an interview with a Brazilian judicial psychologist, not a good source for quoting.

First, what is the concern? For me, it would be jail/major hassle involving the police.

That said, and I have no actual evidence, but I suspect that a woman falsely accusing someone of rape to the point they go to jail is really pretty rare.

She either has to hate you or have done something so stupid (got drunk, cheated on hubby, got caught) that she'll carry it that far.

Now, the metoo bullshit is a different story. But, even that isn't as common for the average person as the media makes it out to be. I know lots of men, and not one of them has lost a job or anything like that. And, at some point, that frenzy will be over.

So, just don't do anything overtly stupid and you'll be fine.

From the experience of police officers across the UK and America's top sex crime expert we get an idea of the % of complaints to law enforcement are false. Those results can be extrapolated into prevalence #'s.

UK cops agree that real rape is rare and most accusations are false. Meanwhile Linda Fairstein is a liar, and has always prevaricated into ambiguity; like "rape culture" advocates. There has never been 4000 annual reports of rape in all on NYC let alone just Manhattan, and according to RAINN, of the reports officially recorded in the U.S., 2.25% result in conviction.

Rape is incredibly rare. False accusations are a subset of reported rapes, so they are even rarer. That is all you need to know in order to not be a victim of the ghost of fear-mongering here.

That said, the if you are at a college, where the burden of proof has been laid on the accused, you maybe want to consider switching places.

Just off the top of my head, here are 50 different types of rape accusations:

True Forcible Rape [aka “rape rape”, “ACTUAL rape”, “Pre-Feminist Rape”, “REAL rape” or “Classic Rape]: Stranger jumps out of bushes and grabs a woman, raping her at gunpoint or knifepoint. OR Stranger breaks into her home or apartment and does same.
Condom Fail Rape [aka “Julian Assange rape”]: Female decides to cry rape if condom fails, or isn’t worn.
Statutory Rape [aka consensual sex with underage girlfriend rape]: “Society” overrides Girlfriend’s consent to sex, because she’s “too young”.
Sex-Free Rape [aka Kissing your Underage Girlfriend rape] Conflation of ANY sexual activity with rape, when the girl is a minor—even if the boy is a minor too. This intentional blurriness is also spreading to unwanted adult sexual contact [aka Lara Logan’s penetration-free “rape”]
Drunken Rape [aka Drunken sex] Adult woman gets herself drunk of her own volition and makes out with an equally stupid drunken guy. Even if the guy is twice as drunk as she is, HE’s the rapist! No blood alcohol test is required (as in drunk driving); No safe legal limit of blood alcohol content has been established. Her word is enough to say that she was drunk. She can enjoy drunken sex all night long and then blame the drunken male for “raping” her.
5-second rule rape [aka “didn’t pull out in time rape”] As of this writing, no woman has ever been convicted of rape for having failed to jump off a man in time if he did not wish to ejaculate inside of her. But many men sit in prison for this same crime.
Women’s Prerogative Rape [aka “she changed her mind rape”]. This includes cases where the female withdrew her consent so meekly in the middle of the act, that the male didn’t realize she was saying no when she had been saying yes just moments prior.
Marital Rape [aka “spousal rape”] Without making any prior formal announcement to the world that she would no longer be engaging in sexual relations with the man she’d vowed to love, honor, and obey, a wife can charge her husband with rape in all 50 states, and have high expectations that he will be arrested, tried, convicted, and jailed with no more proof than her testimony.
Rape by Deception [aka “But you said you were the same religion as me” rape] Slippery slope indeed, if we begin arresting all men who stretch the truth in hopes of stretching some vagina.
Rape by Deception II [aka “But she showed me her fake ID” rape] Sex-seeking girl dupes man into raping her statutorily by lying about her age.
Teacher Rape [aka Extra Curricular/Extra Credit rape] Variation of Statutory Rape in which the “victim” IS over the age of majority, but the statute is stretched to prohibit sexual contact between young people and persons in a position of authority—cuz hey, it might skew the grading process.
Statistical Rape [aka Cooking the Books] When feminists deliberately inflate rape stat’s in order to get more funding and more political influence.
Underage Hooker Rape [aka, it’s only rape if he pays her! ] Mostly a European thing, the age of consent for hookers is, for whatever reason, raised to 18, even if the age of consent for non-hookers is lower.
Overage Hooker Rape [aka, it’s only rape if he DOESN’T pay her.] From the “damned if you do, or don’t” department, it’s even more illegal to NOT pay for sex than it is TO pay for sex.
Cold Feet Rape [aka, “he promised to marry me but didn’t” rape] By custom, in India, if a man agrees to marry a woman, he is given a dowry, and may engage in sex with her right away. HOWEVER, if the fails to honor his promise to marry, the premarital sex retroactively becomes rape.
Incest Rape [aka “It’s OK to love your family, just don’t LOVE your family” rape] Boy meets girl. They fall in love. THEN find out they are blood relatives. (guess which one committed rape)
Insufficient Consent Rape [aka, “if she didn’t rape him, then she must have been the raped one” rape] In their latest salvo, feminists are now demanding not just consent, but “Enthusiastic Consent”, or at the very least, “documented consent”. Like, as in, a signed consent form.
Embarrassment Rape [aka “I’m not a dirty little girl” rape] When a woman is caught engaging in a kinky or perverted sex act—possibly even a role-play of a rape scene, and cries rape to avoid sharing the humiliation with her partner.
Prosecutorial Rape [aka, “Let’s Make a Deal” rape] Accused rapist is pressured into taking a “sweet” plea deal to avoid a draconian sentence and a rigged trial—regardless of his innocence.
Prison Rape [aka “Protective Rape”] When inmates enter into consensual sex arrangements with bigger, badder inmates to avoid being gang raped, the ongoing “consensual” rape is not counted in the prison rape stats. (note that if it were, there would be more male/male rape in the US than male/female rape.)
Mistaken Identity Rape [aka, “whoops, I was raped, but then I identified the wrong guy”, rape] Innocent (yet convicted) “rapists” make up the vast majority of inmates freed by The Innocence Project. These convictions were brought about by feminist demands that accused rapists be presumed guilty unless proven innocent, in the eyes of the law. False Accusation Rapes [aka, bitches lie]
“Daddy caught me having sex, so it’s rape” rape.
“Don’t have money to pay cab-fare” rape.
“Gotta get out of this DUI” rape.
“Need a free abortion” rape.
“Need an alibi for being late” rape.
“Cheated on hubby/boyfriend” rape.
“Need some sympathy” rape.
“Boss didn’t promote me/fired me” rape.
“No, I’M getting custody of the kids, AND all the marital assets” rape.
“He told me I looked fat in these jeans” rape.
“He cheated on me with my best friend” rape.
“I need money, so I’ll accuse a rich celebrity” rape.
“I just can’t hack it in the Military” rape.
“I’ll express my racism by claiming a brown/black skinned person attacked me” rape.
“He came, and I didn’t” rape.
“I know I won’t be prosecuted, or even identified if caught lying” rape.
“I don’t want to be deported” rape.
“I hate my stepdad” rape.
“I have Munchausen Syndrome” rape.
“To make loved one feel guilty for making her perform a chore” rape.
“I’m having trouble maintaining good grades” rape.
“I’d like some money from the ‘victim compensation fund’ please” rape.
“I want to be all-powerful, like God” rape.
“Bring down a powerful person” rape.
“He WOULDN’T have sex with me, aren’t I good enough?” rape.
“To make up for perceived injustices against women” rape.
Intimidation Rape [To paraphrase Feminist Susan Brownmiller, “Rape accusations are a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in a state of fear”.]
It’s ALL Rape [To Paraphrase Andria Dworkin “ALL heterosexual sex is Rape.”]
Oh, and of course, Grey Rape [A term coined by Cosmo, no less, for a sexual situation so questionable, that even the woman herself isn’t sure if it counts as rape.]

studies say up to 40% of claims are false.

Google it, you'll find it.

The most common causes are immature women who have emotional problems and think they need to be a victim.

Unfortunately the other kind of girl with emotional problems, daddy issues and insecurity, often make the best fucks and also the girl who's hottest but most willing to go for a guy who isn't is also that kind of girl.

Gotta learn to discern.

Audio + video of everything, secretly recorded. That way any accusation of rape can be stopped with full video evidence.
