How often does false rape accusation happen?

More than we'd like to believe. You really need to be careful nowadays. Especially with one night stands or girls who are obsessively pursuing you. How often does false rape accusation happen?
False accusations happen occasionally, as when a reluctant but consensual person has regrets, or on the very rare occasion when a female hopes to ruin some guy maliciously. The first is uncommon, while the second is rare.





Far more common is the rape that goes unreported. Apparently, reported rapes represent only a small fraction of those that actually occur. My first wife, with a masters in social work, claimed that familiar rape is common but rarely reported (that is, rape by a relative, coworker or family member). She claimed that over half of the women in America have been a victim of familiar rape. She and my current wife both relate personal anecdotes of familiar rape.





So, I think false rape charges are way less common than actual rapes.How often does false rape accusation happen?

It probably happens, but why?
