And how often do women get prosecuted for filing false reports like these?

First source is subject to selection bias. If one in four cases where DNA evidence was looked at after the fact established that the semen was not from the convicted man it does NOT follow that 1/4 rape accusations are false.

Do I have to go into why? Probably - as most people are innumerate.

Many accusations do not result in a prosecution - mostly ones where the accuser doesn't seem credible.

Many prosecutions do not result in a conviction - especially where the evidence doesn't seem to hold up.

And the BIGGIE as far as selection bias......

The DNA exoneration projects sought out cases where it was likely that the suspect was innocent. Of the group selected, chosen for the likelihood of being innocent(selection bias) 3/4 were guilty.

Hard to conclude from that, unless you have an agenda, that 1/4 rape accusations are false.
