Why is sexual assault one of hardest crime to defend against yet one of the hardest to prosecute?

598 views

I work in the legal field and I have heard many times that it’s difficult to prosecute these cases, but it’s a different story when it comes with defense attorneys. Defense attorneys always say that it’s nearly impossible to win these kinds of cases. Why is it like that?

Because more often it comes down to he said, she said, with very little to no evidence. Without evidence that it actually happened, except for one person’s word over they other, you can’t really be sure it actually happened. And that makes it very hard to prove that it did.

But when they do have that evidence, there’s really not much you can defend against.
