Toulouse, what if our law enforcement is run by a secret cabal of lizard people? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.  You (and G&M) are making such claims, but provide no proof. 

The facts are, that overall crime is down, reports of sexual assaults are down, yet somehow there is this narrative of epidemic is being pushed. Somehow G&M's "Hide your women, hide your children, the rapist men are on the loose" narrative was given consideration. 

Sure, some cases of sexual assault were dismissed as unfounded. This, by itself, does not constitutes a problem unless you also can show that these dismissals were a mistake and such mistakes happened at a higher rate than other comparable crimes, like plain assault.

Keep in mind for every sexual assault case that resulted in charges there was man's life ruined, regardless of guilty or innocent verdict. Simple charges of this nature have life-ruining potential, end careers, end marriages, lead to extensive legal bills...
