Is it really as simple as "(crying) He....he....he raped me!!!!!!" "okay, sir, come with us, you're under arrest". Like do they have to investigate at all, or does a girl just have to say that, and your life is ****ed?

Thing is the police have to though...it would be stupid if they didn't arrest the person if they were accused. It sucks that a person's life is ruined by false accusations, but the police have to err on the side of caution until their investigation is done. That being said there should be tougher penalties for false accusations.
