Why does the ADA need to dismiss her complaints? The ADA might feel that there is not enough evidence to make conviction likely, and that would be appropriate reason not to prosecute, but that doesn't mean you have to convince her that she wasn't raped.

That there isn't evidence of a struggle is a factor that influences the probability of conviction (which obviously is the primary consideration for prosecutors in determining whether to proceed with a case), but it isn't a necessary requirement for the offence to have occurred.
