Of 159 suspects linked to allegedly false claims referred to the CPS between January 2011 and May 2012, 92% were women. Nearly half of them were 21 or under. One surprise was that in 38% of those investigations, the initial complaint of rape or domestic violence was made by someone other than the suspect. Among those under 18 it was 50% and often involved a parent.

Also please read the rest of the article. That "women lie about rape" is still such a prevalent myth, even to some on the left, is quite horrible. I hope this article helps dispel some of that.
