@Dynamo Frokane Like I said my statement was based largely off of my own speculation.
The beauty about being convinced is I don't need to have data. This is my gut feeling. If I was certain and had the data to back it up I'd say I was certain. I presented the data to you though, and admitted it's flimsy. The sources are kinda shit.
Not all judgements are passed within court of law. I'd like you to imagine your name and image being forever attached to an article that says 'rapist' even if it's proven later that you didn't do it. And most rape-cases never get brought into a court, because the police does most the work. Only in complex/large scale cases will there be a court hearing that is public. Most of the time they're not and they're done by a lower-ranking judge that does criminal stuff.
And actually following statistics there are many many ways to determine what a 'real' rape victim is likely to do. For example most rape cases go unreported or are hidden for a long time, and that victims are generally ashamed of what happened (which is the reason many don't report it, as well as the fact that it's so hard for males to report it aside from the police not taking it seriously). So from this it's possible to assume that people wouldn't go into the media the day after it happened. See, there are some general statements you can make that can help you narrow down possible real victims from the possible fake ones.
Doesn't mean you shouldn't take both seriously. Just means it helps you categorize and search for clues.
Generalizations are useful sometimes.
