The odds are, apparently by this article [a little biased i'd say but it gave the proof] around 50/50 in reported cases, but not all cases are reported, in fact, very little cases are reported and those unreported cases...make up a huge amount of the total percentage of rapes commited.
My porblem with this isn't so much that i want Kobe Bryant to be guilty, he's a great athlete and all the rest of it and i really admire his skill, but the fact is that if this girl is lying...and found to be lying, a lot of men are gonna become skeptics of women in general, and criticize them, and not take them seriously when there is actual assault commited etc etc...that is a dangerous and scary attitude. Why do i think that'll happen?
We're already seeing it here. Kobe Bryant hasn't been proven guilty so by no means should he be condemned, but neither has the girl been found lying...it's all speculation based on the POTENTIAL psyche of the girl, yet so many ppl have already dubbed her as a liar who wants nothing but money. That is nothing but an awful double standard. If you assume that Kobe Bryant is innocent until proven guilty, then by all means it's only fair to consider the girl to be truthful until proven to be lying.
