This is the most comprehensive article I have ever read about the fasle rape claim industry:

False Rape Witch Hunts Gone Wild
Men's News Daily

...an area of Maine which has an exorbitant amount of rape charges for its population (60,000). They are averaging 4 rape charges per month.
The shameless tactics of Mary Kellett, and Michael Povich continue in the state of Maine...

...According to victims of prosecutions in Maine’s Bar Harbor region, what is taking place is a modern day Witch Hunt. Court documents suggest that numerous men are currently facing charges of sexual misconduct in a small county of little more than 50,000 people.At the center of these prosecutions is a 44 year old Assistant District Attorney Mary N. Kellett, who has a reputation for prosecuting men on questionable evidence and questionable probable cause. As in the Salem Witch Trials, these prosecutions are often based solely on accusations with no physical or corroborating evidence.
Accusations against men in the county are widely publicized along with their pictures, identities, and details of their private lives...

...But the evidence presented in courts very often shows that any accusation made regardless of the evidence was used to prosecute the accused men. Some local attorneys have asserted that county prosecutor Mary Kellett ignores evidence and the search for truth, but instead focuses on getting men convicted for the allegations made by women. Kellett has made statements that she does not believe women lie about rape. And even when some trials illustrate that the accuser engaged in consensual sexual activity, Kellett herself later characterizes the activities as punishment, done out of anger, and rationalizes why they were not consensual.
These beliefs are shared by the most extreme feminists who for years have asserted that all sex between men and women is rape, and that women just don’t realize that they are being raped even by their partners...

...A team of sex offense responders at the DA’s office immediately embrace female’s accusations and coach them through the process. In the name of public safety, men are immediately stripped of numerous Constitutional rights and effectively forced to disprove the accusations against them in a public criminal trial...

...Little if any publicity is given to the bulk of the cases involving men who were criminally charged and prosecuted with little evidence beyond accusations, sometimes made by their girlfriends, wives, troubled step children, or occasional sex partners. These men may remain in jail for months, lose everything they have, sometimes can’t see their children, and never repair their reputations or the damage done to their lives...

...And it’s not just for alleged sex crimes for which men are systematically punished by the District Attorneys office in Hancock County. Men in the community have been criminally charged for such alleged crimes as splashing water on their wives, spitting, for “terrorism” due to offensive song lyrics, visual aggression, and for what often can be viewed as any action against a female...

...Dr. Demosthenes Lorandos, who is a psychologist and an attorney, states that “the crime of Rape has been known as the easiest criminal allegation to make by an alleged victim, and the hardest to disprove by the defendant.” And that “a series of bias laws has made it easier to obtain convictions”...

... Some studies have placed the rate of false sexual assault reports at 50% or more. That rate jumps to almost 80% when accusations are made during divorce or child custody disputes with girlfriends or wives...

...One Bangor television station aired an interview with a local rape crisis center official who stated that even if a woman falsely accuses a man of rape, it is most important for law enforcement to believe the woman, act on her report, and do exactly what she wants them to do...

...An anonymous victim of prosecution by Mary Kellett stated: “I will never have any faith in the justice system. They aren’t interested in the truth. It’s a game for them. Some day this will go down as witch hunts.” “My family just wants to put this behind them. But it will never be over. I’m still receiving hate mail because of my support [for the accused]. [The prosecutor] used every unfair, low trick in the book to get a conviction and when a jury of 12 called him not guilty they then say ‘just because he wasn’t found guilty doesn’t mean he’s innocent’. I lock my doors and windows and turn the dogs out at night.”...

...One case which has received some attention is that of Vladek Filler, a husband who was accused of sexual assault by his wife during their bitter split up and custody battle. Filler, a self employed honors graduate from Babson College, decided to leave his wife after 16 years and get custody of his two sons. Child Protective Services and Court investigations granted Filler temporary custody of his children. His wife was found to be a threat and had her supervised visits with them suspended.
Prior to being arrested and charged for his wife’s accusations, Filler sought help from a local domestic violence organization which turned him away and chose to give assistance to his abusive wife instead. Filler sought a protection order from court and his wife decided to drop the “nuclear bomb” of divorce and custody battles. She accused Filler of abuse, child molestations, and spousal rape. She demanded immediate custody of their children. A video about the events appeared on .
Despite absence of any corroborating evidence other than his wife’s accusation, the children were taken away, and prosecutor Mary Kellett had Filler arrested, charged, and eventually convicted...

...Filler was apparently not allowed to present any evidence at all of the bitter custody battle, his wife’s troubled past, or her false claims of abuse in another custody battle with another man. nKellett, in turn told the jury “there was no evidence that the sexual assaults did not occur”, and placed the burden on Filler to prove his innocence. Kellett suggested that if forensic and physical examinations were conducted they would impede justice in this case and that statistically Filler was more likely to sexually assault his wife than a stranger...

...Maine’s Attorney General Janet Mills, a former co-founder of the Maine Women’s Lobby, recently stated that her number one priority is domestic violence, and that “We need to send the message to boys and young men in Maine”. Such views from Maine’s top law enforcement official are made despite numerous credible studies suggesting that women are just as responsible, if not more, for domestic violence and child abuse...
