Our justice system, however, has been designed to not convict except when there is proof “beyond a reasonable doubt,” which there most certainly is not in this case.

It never went through our legal system. I don't think a formal charge was filed.

The police wouldn’t pursue it.

Which is why “college rape tribunals” are in reality double jeopardy - a man risks losing his money paid for school, his housing, his reputation, when the police say no we won’t even see this as a criminal level but the girl can then take it to a college board to punish him.
And that violates even more legal rules, such as saying you can’t question her without harming her so cross-examination goes out, he doesn’t get to know the charges against him until called in for his side, often not allowed legal counsel or given notice to have counsel until called in for an administrative hearing, not allowed to show text messages or online history that show they had intimate discussions or a relationship past the date of the so called rape that show she was still dating him.
And colleges combine the roles of the detectives (people investigating the crime) with the judges (people who arbitrate the decision), while having innate bias against the accused (tribunals stacked with women’s studies and liberal arts professors who are biased toward the woman).
