Men are guilty when this goes to court unless some kind of highly obvious evidence comes along. If it's a her word against his she will win everytime and no matter what the actual crime, sexual assault won't be the title, it will always be called rape if the woman says it is.

The statistics I posted paint quite a different picture:

If the rape is reported to police, there is a 50.8% chance that an arrest will be made.

If an arrest is made, there is an 80% chance of prosecution.

If there is a prosecution, there is a 58% chance of a felony conviction.

If there is a felony conviction, there is a 69% chance the convict will spend time in jail.

So, even in the 39% of attacks that are reported to police, there is only a 16.3% chance the rapist will end up in prison.

Factoring in unreported rapes, about 6% of rapists—1 out of 16— will ever spend a day in jail. 15 out of 16 will walk free.
