My initial thought upon reading the story was....only 20%?

That clicking sound you hear is the hundreds of eyes rolling across the dozens of Sex Crimes units across Canada.

The reporter should have spent a month tagging along with Sex Crimes detectives instead of just reading numbers off of a database.

In 10 years as a patrol constable, I can recall at least a dozen instances of false reports - where the 'victim' quickly recanted once the severity of their allegation was made clear....Situations such as using 'rape' as a cover for missing curfew or cheating on a boyfriend. The detectives of the Sex Crimes units deal with these situations daily.

Every decent human being abhors rape.....in my world, the punishment would be more severe than is currently issued. However, to attempt to besmirch the reputation of hundreds of decent, hard working,  detectives without hard core investigative reporting....is weak indeed. But....the results likely would not have fit the narrative.....
