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

584 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?

people have sex all the time, so except for the cases involving minors or someone randomly attacked by someone they never meet or talked to before, it quickly becomes; “he said”, “she said” and there are often no other witnesses. So it is hard for the prosecution to prove it was assault and for the defense it is hard to prove it was consensual
