I think we like to be abused, as people. Ever since TV started talking about these things, a lot, every one is either abused, raped, or molested... I think we are convincing ourselves that events happened that didn't. Then we convince ourselves that we're sick, alcoholics, or crazy.
(Deleted a bunch of examples of why people fake these things, because it makes me sound like a dick, and may prevent a victim from getting the help they need. Their pain is real, and they need help; I don't want to ever say anything that makes it harder for real victims.)
The people who falsely claim to be victims make it harder for real victims to come forward.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
