My experience is very narrow, but you're fucking retarded if you actually believe it is 1-3%
From an article about the subject that states that actaual proven false rape acuastions, and not acuastions that can't be proven, is like 2-10%
The linked academic study actually concludes that false rape allegations occur at a rate of 2 to 10 percent, but leave aside the typo. Readers could easily interpret the above paragraph to mean that when a woman files a complaint about sexual assault, then an assault did in fact occur over 90 percent of the time. That interpretation is wrong.
A “false” rape allegation is provably false – meaning, for example, that the accused has a bulletproof alibi or the accuser eventually recants. In many of the cases examined by the authors of the study, there was simply not enough evidence to bring charges. A rape might have occurred, but it might not have. Such cases are not classified as false.

Fortunately, our justice system isn’t
supposed to involve proving innocence.

That's like making statistics for how many people got away with murder.

Most accusations are unprovable.
Noone can know if they are false or simply unprovable.
And provable depends on the level of evidence necessary... i.e. beyond a reasonable doubt (criminal court) or balance of probabilities (civil court).
Short of having a truth telling machine.
Most accusations fizzle out at the he said/she said stage.
What's changed lately is now it's he said/ she said x 30
