      Its little to do with police cuts. Its just a notoriously hard crime to prove even with evidence. Its generally he said she said which isnt enough for conviction

      The processing of evidence being as slow as it is + the general justice system being fucked is absolutely down to cuts but rape is also just an incredibly difficult crime to prove and prosecute in court – generally forensic evidence allows you to know if something happened but not what.

      Also need to remember Police record every allegation even if that allegation is immediately withdrawn or the victim other than saying she was raped refuses to provide any further detail.

    4. “the Government’s pledge to halve violence against women and girls was under threat due to insufficient funding”

      So the real issue is that they realised that this virtue signalling ambition is completely unrealistic, so the failure needs to be justified.
      People really are too stupid.

    5. And if you were to poll reddit, I bet they would say a much higher percentage for amount of ‚fake accusations‘

      I was once falsely accused of rape, by the mother of my then partner, not her herself. She was from a highly religious family, and there was shame in having had sex before marriage. What I believed happened was this woman’s mother refused to believe her daughter had committed a sin and assumed the only possible explanation was rape, out of convenience, or moreso an understanding that her mother would never be convinced otherwise, my partner just allowed her mother to believe that. She was genuinely at risk of being ostracised by her family if they ever found out the truth.

      I was extremely lucky in that me and this woman had a very close, serious relationship and I trusted her as my partner to say what needed to be said should her parents family actually file a police report.

      Nothing ever came of it, but it was an eye opener as to how false accusations come about. For a good while as well it was trial by social media. As soon as the rumour is out there, as a man society just treats you as guilty from the very start, which honestly was a horrific and highly stressful experience.

      As someone who’s been on the receiving end of false allegations, and I’m sure there are others out there who probably do not wish to come forward online, I just want other people to understand that there can be very real and very powerful motives for someone to make a false accusation.
