A false accuser's profile: Rape Crisis Center presents fake claim workshop

Article here. Excerpt:

'"Most false reports aren't because they're trying to put someone in jail. It's because they have some other motive: they need medication, they need an alibi, they're trying to get out of trouble, they have a factitious disorder," said Service.

Service says most false accusers don't even name a perpetrator. Which made us wonder: Why are fake rape claims such a concern if they are so rare? That's a question Service has too.

"Why are we prioritizing the rights of perpetrators and the reputations of perpetrators over rape victims and them getting justice," asked Service.

According to the Rape Crisis Center, the main reasons for false reports are to avoid trouble, seeking medical help, mental illness and personal gain.'
