But if the DNA test gave a false match, as can happen with LCN, how do you identify the rapist? The distribution argument is an irrelevance you have introduced to cloud the picture.
Post #1953 clearly shows that a match was achieved in a test carried out by Dr John Whitaker in 2006 that predicted a probability of 77 million to 1 that nobody but the suspect in the case documented was the source of the semen being tested. This was subsequently shown to be a false match and highlights the fact that the LCN technique is not infallible and we cannot rely on the results. It doesn't do what it says on the tin!
