So, it is no different than for any other sort of accusation lacking corroborating evidence? Is there evidence that this is more likely in sexual assault cases

So, it is no different than for any other sort of accusation lacking corroborating evidence?
Is there evidence that this is more likely in sexual assault cases than others? Your post here [1] (and the post you are replying to) seem to suggest that it is actually less likely in these cases.

- gnicholas 8y agoI think all cases that are based only/mostly on a victim's statement are very difficult to prove. In my other comment, I was pointing out that sex-based cases are more likely to be based mostly on a victim's statement than other cases.
- mannykannot 8y agoIndeed - there seems to be an absence of empirical evidence for any more specific claim than that such claims are difficult to prove.
