This is an interesting study that relied on DNA evidence to determine if convicted rapists were falsely accused. According to the researchers, 15% of subjects had been falsely accused.

An unknown number of men were accused but their cases were dismissed, or they were found not guilty because the accusers were judged to be lying.
