That is what I was talking about with the skewed statistics. The felony conviction rate is very low for all crimes.
But it is significantly lower with date rape just because there is rarely physical evidence of what was happening in the mind of the accuser. Both parties admit they had sex. Physical evidence proves it. But unless there are physical injuries "lack of consent" is hard to prove.
