Suppose the law were changed so that the judge/jury is not allowed to doubt that a rape occurred. The trial forumula now becomes: 1. Person says they were raped on a particular occasion. 2. Police find person suspect of having sex with first person on that occasion. 2.a. Police prove suspect had sex with first person on that occasion. Guilty. 2.b. Police fail to prove suspect had sex with first person on that occasion. Not guilty.
What would the consequences of this be to society?
