The burden of proof in this scenario would be a preponderance of the evidence. Most people in the legal field, such as myself, would say that Dr. Ford has easily me that. 

"Most people in the legal field, such as myself, would say that Dr. Ford has easily me that. "

simply by asserting that she was assaulted?

if i said right now that you assaulted me 10 years ago at a party would you give yourself up willingly to be sent to the gulag?

Nope that wouldn't suffice. Also again you are mixing up what happens in a criminal matter and what happens in a civil matter. Seizure of a person only occurs in a criminal matter. A defendant in a civil matter is not seized, even if there is enough factual allegations to state a claim is plausible. You would just risk a default judgment against you if you don't respond.
