@vampirepuppy Get lost. Just because you can't (always) "prove" rape doesn't mean it doesn't happen. (Generally) people don't lie about that. When someone confides in you that they've been sexually abused, the chance that it happened is like 99%. It's extremely rare for people to make that up, and when someone actually makes it up, it's for revenge. When anyone claims to have been raped, you can almost always guarantee that it happened. Most of the time, victims/survivors aren't heard. VERY few survivors even file charges, often due to fear or shame. The very few people that file charges are usually completely ignored by the system. The case usually gets thrown out. Those all too seldom times they actually reach the court, the survivors usually lose. Not because it didn't happen, but because it's usually way too easy to come up with a defense. It's easy to either just say that it was consentual sex, or that it didn't happen. Very few people go to the hospital (at all) in time for someone to collect physical proof and possibly DNA. Even when people do that, it's way too easy for people to say that both parties were in on it. It's also rare that people even end up with any bruises or anything else that can help prove what happened. Even I experienced it very violently once, I could've easily died, still all the physical proof my body showed was this one bruise on my leg that could've been explained by anything and my.. area being red. And this case was extremely violent. So people usually don't exhibit physical signs that make it easy to prove.
You're talking about proving sexual abuse like it's as easy as following a paper trail proving fraud. It doesn't work like that.
Also, this is not a courtroom, so I don't understand why you're so focused on legal terms and the legality of it all. This is not court. Nobody is accused. Nobody is "guilty before proven innocent". What we have here is simply one person sharing part of their story. He's not fighting someone in court. There's nobody to prove guilty or innocent here, so gtfo. You're just being a prick for the sake of it, and you're just wrong and foolish for that. That's really low of you. Do better.
