    No one here is in defense of rapists. Your accusations is exactly why we don’t just “believe women.” Accusations aren’t proof of guilt.

    Also, there’s a thing in law that’s called “precedent”.

    If you allow accusations to be accepted as legal proof of a thing, the floodgates open to allow this precedent to be applied to ALL things.

    We don’t like our boss? Let’s all accuse him of rape! Boom! Prison.

    We don’t like the head of our HOA? Let’s all accuse her of embezzlement! Boom! Prison!

    There’s a reason proof is required. And it protects everyone. Even the bad guys.
