1. This is indeed unique to rape and sexual abuse claims. It was a deliberate decision by the Metropolitan Police to give wide publicity to Operation Yewtree with the intention of attracting victims of Jimmy Savile and others, which is understandable, and the weight of impressive witness statements in the Savile case can leave no doubt of his criminality.

However, the police themselves also invited specific accusations from people they interviewed, however nebulous the connection with the original accuser. I suggest you read Paul Gambaccini’s book, and listen to the interview whilst it is available. Contrary to your assertion, he is demonstrably a man of integrity and good character who would never allow grievance to affect his truthfulness.

2. The police also admitted to comedian Jim Davidson that they were told to believe and accept whatever accusers say as the truth. Practically every official and charitable organsation involved with the issue (not to mention feminist prssure groups) says the same thing: ‘believe the victim’, meaning 'believe the accuser, whether true or false'. Given the compensation payments made by the BBC during and after Operation Yewtree, does anybody seriously believe there weren’t a few people chancing their arm in the hope of gaining some benefit? But of course, these too are 'victims' and are to be believed.

As for Paul Gambaccini’s reliability, you could just as easily say that all accusers have a grievance of some kind and are therefore not reliable witnesses.
3. Accusations are not eyewitness accounts, still less independent ones. Everyone making an accusation has a right to be taken seriously, but not to be believed without question. Corroborative objective evidence or independent eyewitness is required.
4. Your ‘correlation’ comment refers to what is usually circumstancial evidence, which may indicate something, or may amount to nothing. Are you saying that because evidence in sexual abuse cases is difficult if not impossible to obtain, we should do away with traditional judicial due process? The Salem witch trials are an example of what happens when such due process established over centuries is ignored in favour of expediency and ideology, whether religious or political.

5. It would be quite untrue to say that false allegations in rape cases are statistically the same as in other crimes. Alison Saunders, current head of the CPS, has erroneously claimed that CPS work had shown false accusations of rape were very rare indeed. The implication is clear: false accusations, and innocent men falsely accused, can be ignored. The Crown Prosecution Service’s Rape Manual, in a section called Societal Myths, states that “studies have indicated that only 2 per cent of all reported rapes are false, which is slightly less than false reporting in all other crimesâ€.
It gives no references to these studies, but the 2 per cent figure originates in the US and has been frequently cited. An attempt to trace it to its source by a US lawyer, Edward Greer, found that it originated in the feminist writer Susan Brownmiller’s 1976 book Against our Will, using data quoted by a judge that in turn came from the Commander of the New York City Rape Analysis Squad in the mid-1970s. This relied on an unknown source, and no report, analysis, or peer-reviewed article to substantiate the claim was ever published, nor any evidence of how the statistics were collected.

In fact, the US literature on the subject provides almost any estimate for false accusations of rape you care to choose. One study, published in 1994 by Eugene Kanin, found that in a small unnamed community in the Mid-West where every reported rape was carefully investigated, 41 per cent turned out to be false. The study covered 109 reported rapes over nine years and false claims were only classified as such when the complainant admitted fabrication. More recent studies, British and American, come up with various different figures, from 8% to 45%.
6. A significant number of surveys and statistical reports originating from feminist academic or feminist-influenced sources have been found to be biased, distorted, or downright duplicitous, either in their methodologies or in the way they stress the figures in favour of women whilst ignoring, hiding, or assimilating those for men as if they did not exist. For example, the CPS themselves, in their 2014/15 ‘Violence against women and Girls Crime Report’, collected figures for both men and women, but include the men’s with the women's, as if violence against men did not exist and women were the only victims. A similar thing happened in the supporting data for the Welsh Assembly’s Violence Against Women and Girls Act. That is how unreliable official (and feminist) statistics are.

7. And, of course, it's not just the law, it's the application of the law and the training now given to all agencies involved, in accordance with ideological feminist demands, which lead to the requirement that 'victims' must be believed, that all enquiries now begin on the basis that a crime has actually taken place and the accused is guilty, whether the accusation be one of rape or sexual or domestic abuse. And make no mistake, if the ideologues have their way, that is how it will be in the courts: if it's her word against his, then that will be sufficient for a conviction. This approach is already taken in the family courts, where a woman can falsely claim that she fears for her own or the children's safety, which is immediately accepted by the judge, who issues an indefinite restraining order, and as a consequence an innocent man may be refused access to his children for months if not years. And so, in response to your last comment, surely putting an end to witch hunts and injustice should be a priority for us all. ‘Some kind of vendetta’? I don’t know what you mean; please explain.
