There's all this talk of rich athletes like Kane being a target, but not one established example of it happening. You'd think if it was a real possibility like some say, there'd be an example of someone admitting it or a successful lawsuit for slander or a successful false accusation conviction on that basis. Yet no one can show me one.

What do you mean when you say false accusations for other reasons are far more coming, and make a lot more sense? Honestly asking, not sure I understand what you are getting at.
Why would there ever be examples of someone admitting it? Do that, all of a sudden you go from being a potential victim of a crime to committing a crime. Best case scenario you get from false accusations is likely a dropping of the charges, but that can happen even when the charges were legit, so know one every really knows.
Anyway, point being, you are asking for stats to "prove" something that you know there won't be stats for. The very nature of false accusations and the intent behind them means they go away and don't get checked into any column that would allow us to go back in retrospect with a definitive answer, they go into the "I wonder what truth was there bucket". I do kind of think you know that, and are simply arguing semantics to try and win your debate and fair enough, but I have to believe you don't actually think there would readily available stats and examples of 100% for sure false accusations. People don't tend to admit when they tried to falsely accuse people of crimes due the jail time associated with it.
