Translation...better an innocent guy to be convicted than for a woman to have her own RELEVANT behavior come out in court.

Not even close to accurate. Let me help...
Better that an innocent guy, who got himself into a predicament of a false rape charge through actions he could have easily avoided, have to face a tough ordeal, than that dozens of rapists be enabled to go on fishing expeditions to humiliate and intimidate their victims.
The beneficiaties of your largesse would overwhelningly be real, live rapists.

Better that an innocent guy, facing a false rape charge have to face a life in prison, than that dozens of rapists be enabled to explore the relevance of previous sexual activity of their accuser.

Funny, how different it can sound without the spin

Saber, I think in most cases the victims sexual past is not relevant, as in most stranger cases. But in a cases like this it is relevant. The rape shield law is operating properly in this case. There is no discussion in court of how many partners she has had, etc. There is a limited discussion about who she may have had sex with immediately before and after the alleged rape.
