Seems you're in denial about things. You're not in touch with what has gone on. The scenario I described has happened and for some unfortunates is still going on. When times and opportunity are shown to be true, the accused denies anything untoward happened and that's all he can do and what's thrown at him then is "we'll let a jury decide". Some cases were dropped on the day the case was due to start, in other cases the accused was offered the chance to plead guilty to some lesser charges. Some actually took that way out, not risking going to trial. Then those "in the know" say "he got off lightly". For the accused it's a lose - lose situation.
