Bury the Truth -- A 25 year study conducted by the U.S. Air Force found women admitted or were found to be making false rape accusations in 60% of the complaints they filed. Congresswoman Pat Schroder (D-CO) forced the Air Force to stop this study and conceal the findings.

"To my considerable chagrin, we found that at least 60 percent of all the rape allegations were false." (Dr. Charles P. McDowell, Supervisory Special Agent, U.S. Air Force, Office of Special Investigations)
This is the story of Air Force Office of Special Investigations, Special Agent Charles P. McDowell, Ph.D.
Special Agent McDowell's empirical research into false accusations of rape was destroyed by a feminist Congresswoman, Patricia Nell Scott Schroeder, and two feminist attorneys.
Dr. McDowell was a special agent and later a Supervisory Criminal Investigator (GS-1811-14) for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI).
One of his projects was a careful study of every rape ever reported to AFOSI (world wide and encompassing all U.S. Air Force bases) for the 25 year period from 1965 to 1990.
Dr. McDowell led a team that investigated 556 rape allegations. The initial research categorized 220 of those allegations as true, 80 as false, and 256 as inconclusive. When they announced their initial results, they'd categorized 46% of their data as inconclusive.
The McDowell team then did a followup analysis. They recruited three independent reviewers to evaluate the inconclusive cases based on a list of criteria that were common among the women who had acknowledged they lied.
In order for any of the inconclusive cases to be recategorized as false, all three independent reviewers had to agree that it was false. The end result: 60% of the 556 rape allegations were determined to be false.
Even so, McDowell worried that his findings might not be representative outside a military context. So he then analyzed the police records of a major midwestern city and a city in the southwest. The results in those cities were consistent with the results of the Air Force analysis.
But the cities feared political repercussions if it were publicly announced that 60% of reported rape allegations were false, so they requested anonymity.
"The Lace Curtain’s power exists even in male-dominated institutions. For example, Dr. Charles McDowell, formerly of the US Air Force’s Office of Special Investigations, discovered that 27% of Air Force women who claimed they had been raped later admitted making false accusations of rape. The admission usually came when they were asked to take a lie detector test. With these admitted false accusations he was able to develop 35 criteria distinguishing false accusations and those known to be genuine. Three independent judges then examined the remainder of the cases. Only if all three reviewers independently concluded the original rape allegations were false did they rank them as “false.” The total of false allegations became 60%."
Conclusion: The study has been buried by Congresswoman Pat Schroder with the help of two feminist attorneys.
