. . . the case is "he said, she said," his word against theirs, and under the law anyone trying to adjudicate it would be unable to rule one way or the other.

There is no such rule. A jury is empowered to choose whom to believe, and is given guidance by the judge about how to determine credibility. It might be difficult to do in "he said-she said" scenario, but it is not impossible.

Corroboration is sine qua non to crediting or rejecting confessions to crimes--not to determining the truth in "he said-she said" scenarios.

I disagree. It's strictly "he said, she said" and nobody would even issue an arrest warrant on it, let alone prosecute it and put it before a jury.
