Thank you.
And Eddie, I know there are times when false allegations are made. I once advised a group on a college campus and saw it happen. I knew it was false, it came from hurt feelings when the young lady realized that it was a one-night-stand and he didn't want a repeat performance. It was terrible, and messed up that young man's life.
But the reaction of immediately jumping to the conclusion that they're lying skanks who asked for it is what keeps the reporting of rape at about 10% nationwide. When they are victimized again by public speculation, many women feel it just isn't worth it to go to the police.

I would add that FBI statistics show that at least 25% of all women in the US will be sexually assaulted in her lifetime, many before they get out of college, and most by someone they know. Nowhere near that many are reported. Rapists should have the book thrown at them.
And women who falsely accuse should be charged criminally if that can be proven.

It is by some, especially when it comes to athletes. Becoming less that way though, I believe. I haven't looked at the statistics since I volunteered with sexual assault victims.
