The legal proceedings began late last year, the judge gave his verdict this Friday, that she would not be released from contract.

There's a massive online wave of petitions/hashtags and the like calling for the verdict to be overthrown though. I've seen #SonySupportsRapists posted more than once.

Is there any concrete evidence supporting her claim?

So far as I know, it's her word against his. The alleged event took place a decade ago, making physical proof something of an impossibility. Her producer has not been convicted, or indeed even charged at this time.

But rape is one of those crimes where many people automatically assume guilt. Like pedophilia, it's highly emotive and provokes a gut reaction that can overwhelm rational discussion.
