Let's throw out the Constitutional assumption that someone is presumed innocent until PROVEN guilty. Let's assume that all white males take for granted that black females are nothing but sexual objects. Echoes of the ole marse taking a slave woman as concubine. Let's assume that the evidence could not possibly be correct if it does not reflect the conclusion we have already reached.
Let's assume that people never lie to the police.
Could rape have happened? Yes. But reading over the facts as presented so far I am skeptical over the rape charge. But heck I won't be on the jury so my skepticism really does not matter. What will matter is what the jury decides should this case ever come to trial.
But the victim's being lynched (I believe unfairly) and think that it's a sort of disturbing tactic.
