When someone is accused of rape, how often are they convicted, and how often do they avoid prosecution?  A general data, might be helpful.

Data about cases of rape, and the conviction and prosecution rates for those accused of the crime, is hard to come by. However, according to a meta-analysis of numerous studies, the average conviction rate for sexual assault cases is roughly 62%. That number jumps to nearly 90% when there is physical evidence to support the accused person’s guilt. Additionally, it has been estimated that fewer than 5% of reported rapes result in a false accusation, and in some cases a trial may end without a conviction due to a lack of evidence. Ultimately, the odds of someone avoiding prosecution for rape will depend on the details of the specific case.
