… yup. Sadly.
I had an GF that was raped and she immediately went to the police office and had a rape kit done and all that. The DA refused to prosecute because “he’d probably just say it was consensual and we don’t have evidence otherwise without a confession”
It’s a shitty situation because the law legitimately should not be throwing people in prison simply on the word of the accuser. “Beyond a reasonable doubt” is an important aspect of the justice system.
On the other hand, it does result in many rapists getting away with their crimes.
That’s quite the claim to make without sources.
Let’s see some peer-reviewed studies backing this up.
