There is simply no way in hell that 53 in 54 rapes reported to police are false reports. Figures vary some depending upon the source, but they're always abysmal.
Police nationwide only have a 2% conviction rate for felony crimes. Our criminal justice is set up on the ideal that we would rather let guilty persons go free than put innocent ones in jail. That isn't a rape specific issue.
