Yes, presuming he did it. He hasn't been convicted yet.

We, as a people, are so very fond of the courtroom, aren't we? A failure to convict does not mean that "R" bryant is innocent; it merely means that for whatever reason(s), the jury reported that the prosecution had failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the elements of the applicable statute(s) had been violated.

So far as I am concerned, I'm convinced he raped the girl. My convictions need not be controlled by accepted courtroom procedure. Your mileage may vary.

I hope the people of the state of Texas remember your feelings when you're arrested for something -- ANYTHING.
