Well, false reports can not be considered false unless withdrew by the accuser. Otherwise is just a shot in the dark.

It is completely valid to discredit a point with no source. And there's sources that say it is 2% false accusations (like most other crimes) and there's sources that says is 40%. Why are numbers so separate from each other? Because it's a shot in the dark.

Withdrawn != false. There are many other reasons (social pressure, for example) why someone might withdraw an accusation. Particularly when the legal system is extremely unlikely to convict.
