Yes, she can.
Anyone can falsely report a crime. Although if you want to frame someone for a crime I don't know why you'd choose rape, as only 25% of all reported rapes ever go to trial.
That statistic is meaningless. We have something called a plea bargain in the US criminal justice system, and it means that only a fraction of all criminal procedures end up at trial. what usually happens is the prosecutor comes in and threatens to charge someone with a crime that could result in years in prison, and they plead guilty to a lesser charge to avoid the complications.
If you plead guilty to a crime you didn't commit, you don't get sympathy from me.
Rape is very hard to prove which is why its rarely reported and rarely results in a conviction.
You seem to be under the impression that a woman can say "he raped me" and the accused is locked up, end of story. In he said she said cases, the burden of proof is on the victim.
