It’s very important to understand that there is no way of knowing on which side your case will fall. It’s very easy to see the low percentage rate that we are about to give you and think you do not need to take action. YOU DO!. You need to prepare your defence. You need to make time lines, gather digital evidence, photographs, location data. Everything you can get your hands on that will be useful to your defence team IF you get charged for the false allegation against you.
That said in the year ending March 2021 the government data for crime outcomes for all sexual offences (including rape) was that 3.5% of offences reported resulted in a charge.
Have you or has someone close to you been falsely accused of a sexual offence?
