Basically it's like hearing someone fell into a meat grinder and immediately assuming they intentionally jumped. I'm sure there have been people who *have* jumped into a meat grinder willingly, but it seems prudent to avoid assuming that anyone killed by meat grinder did it on purpose because they thought it would benefit them in some way.
Seems like there is data on it. Its about 5.5%. That is pretty far from unheard of.
In March 2017 a new study on the prevalence of false rape allegations in the United States, for the period 2006–2010, was published on the Journal of Forensic Psychology. The goal of the research was to obtain recent figures of the prevalence of unfounded allegations of rape and compare to unfounded allegations of other crimes. According to the data provided by the FBI, between 4,400 and 5,100 allegations of rape every year were deemed false or baseless after investigation, out of a total of 87,000– 90,000, corresponding to an average of 5.55%. The figure was at least five times higher than for most other offence types. Cases of disputed consent were not included in the results as they were subject to judicial review in court.
