Center for Prosecutor Integrity fights back against false sexual assault allegations

Article here. Excerpt:

'The Center for Prosecutor Integrity on Wednesday launched an initiative to combat false reports of sexual assault and the overcriminalization of sexual conduct.

The Wrongful Convictions of Sexual Assault Program aims to protect the due process rights of the accused, which are on shaky footing nationwide.

The program aggregates research on the rate of false accusations of sexual assault, noting that it is the second-most-common crime of which people are wrongfully convicted. The National Registry of Exonerations found that more than 270 people were exonerated last year after being wrongfully convicted of sexual assault.'
