Many people here worry that many rape convictions are false. But criminology tells a different story. Given that in US sex crimes carry mandatory life sentence on Megan's list and/or probation plus long time in prison, very few men would falsely confess to a sex crime. Thus almost all of the 86% of sex criminals convicted by guilty plea are guilty. As for the 14% convicted by trials -- I guess no more then 20% of them are innocent. Thus NO MORE THEN 3% OF CONVICTED SEX OFFENDERS ARE INNOCENT. That is not a big price to pay given our epidemic of sex crimes after the "sexual revolution".
