My understanding for why a big part of the reason it's not is because they don't want real victims to feel like they can't talk about it, and they don't want real rapists (who might not be found guilty) to turn around and target their victims all over again

Idk what the solution is, but anyone who would lie about being raped to destroy someone else is more vile and disgusting than the bacteria feeding on a Maggot's corpse.
