I'm not a lawyer and not playing one here.

In any case, it is my understanding that 'innocent until proven guilty' is part of criminal law. In other kinds of law the burden of proof is lower.

Of course these claims have to be investigated carefully. But I think it is wrong to try to copy elements of criminal procedures to civil matters.

It is important to strike a sensible balance. We cannot have a situation where women would always lose because of lack of hard evidence.
