Well, apart from these problems, the second post illustrates a problem which may be a significant one - that is false rape accusations. It depends on whose statistics you believe.
I don't pretend to know anything about it but some of the statistics noted up to and over half of rape accusations being false. Also, generally no charges are laid against the accusers for perjury or false accusation or whatever the correct term is.
If it's true, then it's a disturbing trend.
(Note: I don't actually believe the 50% figure, but the middle-of-the-road figures were more like 20% ish - still fare too high)
