This gives the accusations, including false ones, more power.

When the conviction rate for rape and sexual assault is sitting around 8%, real and false reports of rape have very little power.

The power I was talking about is completely separate from conviction rates. Ask Emmett Till how much consolation it is that he wasn't convicted.
