Pretty rare? 8%, [according to the FBI](http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/Cius_97/96CRIME/96crime2.pdf). That’s compared to 2% for overall crime.

The woman in this case is getting ripped because the facts, as they emerge, do not seem to be supporting the story she initially told. Assuming your best friend didn’t change HER story, I fail to see what relevance your best friend’s rape has to this case.
