All along I've said that the standard for evidence should be the same right across the board.
Actually I said no such thing - what I did say is that in cases where it is just one person making an accusation with no other evidence the case would never get to court.
This case backs me up on that - no action was taken after the first accusation - it was only when there was a second accusation in similar circumstances that a court case was instigated.
When the judge dismissed the evidence of one of the victims leaving just a single accuser the prosecution offered no evidence in the remaining case.
