Hey I ignored most the questions after a while but in personal experience the victim is rarely outright lying. It happens, not normally to set up the suspect but usually because the victim was unfaithful to their significant other. Outright liars are charged for false report to peace officer, though I don’t believe the DA frequently picks up the case.

I was asking because I've heard numbers around 10% range or slightly more, and I was curious if in the field actually seems that way.

Anyways, keep up the good work.

I would think 10% outright lying would be very inflated number. Maybe 1 in 25 or 1 in 30. Even then I wouldn’t say they’re always lying from their perspective.
