I think this is the reason that some police officers can get away with things like this. When it's taken to an extreme so that it looks as though it might not be true the victim isn't believed.
I did talk with someone who used to work closely with the police department about this and was told that I'd be surprised at how often incidents like this happen and are swept under the carpet. Scary stuff.
