That all depends upon the lawyers & parties to a case.
Some are ethical, & some aren't. But if you introduce
ethics, Trump is the worst example.

ethics, Trump is the worst example.
It's the epitome of injustice.
Men are punished, women are not.
The law is not equal for all.
Let's say the 5% are ethical lawyers, the 95% is devoted to the almighty dollar.

I was specifically referring to sexual assault that doesn't involve consent. Even clear cut cases won't get reported and even sometimes when a person tries to, they can be dissuaded.
It happened to me that my first time with a man was a bit unsettling and...painful.
But he was my boyfriend and I was deeply in love with him.
And I didn't express my consent explicitly because I didn't know what to do...because it was my first time.
The fact that another woman could have sued that man...in the US, shows that the American judicial system is flawed.
I am sorry.
Because it basically tells women: if you enjoyed the sexual act, it's not rape.
If you didn't enjoy it, it's rape.
That is, you can withdraw your consent, after the sexual act.

People make false accusations that are accepted by people who really, really, really want it to be true!

Ok, didn't get the reference...
While this may occur, I am not a fan of it being assumed, especially when the accusation involves a person in power. It leads to a horrible situation where victims are dismissed and thus why they don't report.
I think of this:
if someone mugs me or robs me, I go to the police immediately to denounce the facts.
I don't wait for 20 years or so...and then I go to the police. Also because the procurator or the police may not believe it did happen.
After 20 years ...all the evidence is gone.
Then why should it be different, as for rape?
By this line of questioning a hypothetical, are you
arguing that if not immediately reported, there
was no sexual assault, & the accuser is lying?

I don't care about some article...
If I don't find something very credible, I will not change my mind.
In judicial language, there are degrees of credibility and reliability.
Twenty years is too much time.
Hardly credible.
There have been cases of rape where the victim went to the police two minutes later.
Sometimes two days later.
The jury in Trump's would disagree with you.
I have a law degree at least.
I wonder how many of those jurors do, as well.
The judge gave legal instructions.
The lawyers made their arguments based upon evidence presented.
The jurors heard the evidence, & unanimously ruled against Trump.
You have a only a law degree from some foreign country.
The jurors are far more qualified.
A foreign country where delicate juridical decisions are not entrusted to lay people who hardly know the difference between dolus and culpa.
