Yup. Also the very very important 'innocent until proven guilty' only applies to the alleged rapist, as 'lies' is ths starting position on the victim.

And yeah rape is basically legal these days. Sorry but when you get victims literally taping their rapes and the rapist still goes free.it kind of shows a huge issue.

Honestly, I hate to think about it but if a (female) member of my family came to me saying they were raped, I think I would discourage them from reporting, because of how trials are. Usually, the victim gets more of a grilling than the alleged rapist for ****s sake..

I know some men get raped too, but the default doesn't seem to be 'liar' to men. Unless a celebrity is ivolved, in which case the rules bend slightly..

Anyway, rising reports just show more women desperate to lie about men just to make them look bad, or dragging themselves through cross examiniations that go on months because they regretted sleeping with someone..yadayada.
