So I guess we should just let all crimes go because the victim might be lying, got it. All those murders without a literal smoking gun should be ignored, all the rapes without the actual cum from the rapist should be ignored. Because a witness might be lying and there's no way to tell, no way to corroborate their stories, like forcing other witnesses to testify whether they like it or not, checking stories for details and consistency, and making a rational decision on whose story we doubt instead of a political one or an identity based one. Yep, let them all go scot free because victims are the ones that lie, not criminals.

Not at all what I'm saying. I'm simply proposing accusations be backed up with evidence.

 

Depends on what you count as evidence. Based on what you seem to be implying, there's not much evidence in the case of the priests who raped little boys, but we believe those little boys.
