In 1994, a Purdue University professor by the name of Eugene Kanin conducted the now-infamous study that determined that over 40% of all rape allegations were false. The study itself can be found here and is quite an interesting read:

Predictably, Kanin's study was attacked from all quarters. One of the main complaints about his methodology is that he based his analysis on police statistics from a jurisdiction that required rape complainants to undergo a polygraph test. In other words, many of the complaints that Kanin looked at were deemed false because the "victim" decided not to press charges after being informed she had to do a polygraph test. How could this possibly be a flaw in the study, you might wonder. Surely a woman that has actually been raped and is telling the truth would not mind doing a polygraph test? Apparently, in the eyes of the feminists, not taking a woman at her word when she accuses a man of one of the most serious crimes on the books somehow "re-victimizes" the "victim".
Here in Toronto, there is currently a high-profile case that has Duke Lacrosse written all over it. Long story short, two girls go to a bar, get wasted, meet two good-looking, rich guys, go back to one of the guy's condo, have sex, wake up having little recollection of what happened the night before and are then asked to leave while the dudes bring another girl to have sex with. Subsequently, their memory returns in "flashbacks" and they suddenly "remember" that they were "drugged and gang-raped". Other than the women's testimony based entirely on these "memory flashback", there is absolutely no evidence that they were raped. The women also claim that they did not go back with the accused men to the condo to have sex but rather to "continue patrying". Riiiight.
Here's an article giving some more background (note that even the female columnist seems to be skeptical about the so-called 'rape'):

Here's another one that also contains a photograph of one of the accused. Note that he is a stereotypical "alpha-male": white, movie star looks, good job, from a rich family. This just goes to show that anyone can be a victim of false rape allegations, not just unattractive, "creepy" guys:

The case will likely be thrown out because the accused are rich and could afford to hire the best defence lawyers in town. However, they still had to post $100,000 bails and have their names dragged through the mud for over four years. Tellingly, the complaints' names cannot be identified due to a publication ban, yet the same does not apply to the accused.
So be careful, fellow DJs. False rape allegations are no joke.
