Sex Assault

 Falsely Accused of Sexual Assault

False allegations of sexual assault and rape are becoming widespread, due to expanded definitions, the removal of key due process protections, and a variety of economic incentives to accuse. SAVE is working to stop false allegations of violence and abuse.
