The problem is that the general population sometimes treats "charges" the same ad "convictions".
The general population sometimes, the NFL ALWAYS (unless it's Ray Rice and Goodell thinks he's the only one who's seen the video) Not rape I know, but related. The real problem is people who were actually raped have more problem getting their cases handled, because they are usually ashamed, embarrassed, and often afraid to pursue their cases. Now, if a woman dresses and acts like a hooker, I think that should devalue any claim of rape, and should be a contributing factor in a case. It's altogether too easy to cry rape if things don't turn out to suit you, and I've seen that happen to a couple of people caused by one certain young lady who's related to me . That's nearly as bad as a rape victim, in this case the man is automatically looked on unfavorably by the media and society. I'm not talking about a drunken encounter, just young girl decides to say somebody raped her. I believe substantial charges should be brought against false accusers as they are actual rapists, it's way to easy to cry rape nowadays, and cases like that backlog the system where those people who were raped should receive justice swiftly.
