“I had felt like I was doing a good job. I wasn’t,” he said.

This was after he was named Detective of the Year.

The article is worth a read. The changes they made tripled the number of prosecutions.

If you thought a woman was lying about being raped you wouldn't put her in jail?

Bear in mind that lying about being raped implies that they're accusing somebody of raping them that didn't really rape them.
