Considering law have "innocent until proven otherwise", "burden of proof", "total and ample defense", "false accusations", "false testimony" even 2 or 10% is enough reason to not accept a simple claim as solid proof as many try to push for sexual assault trial don't you think?

I mean if you want to push your goalposts from "common" to "happens enough that we should not accept a claim as solid proof" I can agree. Though I'm unsure about your last bit of the sentence "not accept a simple claim as solid proof as many try to push for sexual assault trial don't you think?" If you're saying that you don't think an accusation should be enough to start a trial I agree, but I agree that it can't be the only evidence. I don't think a "simple claim" should be the only evidence for a conviction, but it's certainly a part of the evidence. 

Now, can we agree, however, that math does not work by "I found two examples I think it's common"?

I never did a math on two cases (anedoctes) making something common. Even if people try to make the less than 10% on the case of LGBTQI++ in population as normal (avoiding any significance of the world "normal"). But 10% occurrence is still common enough that is representative of something, sure it will still be a minority. And good that we agree that just word of testimony or accuser isn't enough for any trial (but sure it should be enough to start investigation) even if it's sexual abuse.
