I think the problem with your statement is we don't talk about other crimes this way.
When talking about the things which lead to theft, battery, arson, etc., we don't even think to say, "but some people lie about this," as a comment about the difficulties in seeing to it they are reduced.
Given the way society treats rape (woman is presumed to have, "led him on," unless 1: she didn't get hurt resisting and 2: didn't know him, 3: wasn't Miss Polly Pureheart) "changing her mind in the morning" isn't likely to lead to charges of rape.
It might lead to a buyer's remorse accuasation, but not often. From my (limited, and male) experience, admitting one was raped; even by force, is often difficult. Lots more date rape is written off as, "damn that was a bad idea" than bad ideas are converted to date rape.
