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

577 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?

The cases that don’t have good evidence, are dropped and not prosecuted. Hence the cases defence attorneys do see are the cases with more evidence, which means they are going to be harder to defend.
