Which is complete bullshit. Men are getting arrested daily on the basis of mere accusation of rape having happened. It’s illegal and it’s one of the most strongly enforced laws there is. This was the case before me-too and especially is the case since.
Unfortunately in way too many cases judges tend to side with the rapist because they’re relatable… See rapist Brock Allen Turner. That happens A LOT. that’s just the one that was publicized.
I personally know two people this happened to. The person who raped them got a slap on the wrist. One victim was a man, the other a woman. Ask around and I’m sure there are innumerable similar stories just like healthcare denials.
In many cases, it comes down to one person’s word against another’s with little to no additional evidence, making it naturally difficult to convict anyone. I’d argue that it’s better to let a guilty person walk free than to risk imprisoning someone who is innocent.
