Google "Steubenville, Ohio" if you want to know more about how some of those investigations might have gone in a "small, Midwestern city."

Wasn't that related to football teams?

Initially, the teenage boys were defended by the community (the local football team is a source of pride) who painted Jane Doe as a consenting partner and even went on to shame her. Football coach, Nate Hubbard sums up the community sentiment best:

“The rape was just an excuse, I think… What else are you going to tell your parents when you come home drunk like that and after a night like that? She had to make up something. Now people are trying to blow up our football program because of it.”

FBI sets average rate of false rape accusations at 8%

There's also a 60%-ish of cases that don't get resolved or go to trial.

Thus three categories:

1. Cases with enough evidence to go to court
2. Cases where no one knows if they're true
3. Cases that are obviously false

Some background on the difficulty of quantifying:
