A sworn statement is all they need? That is crap IMHO. No, you should not be able to molest someone with impunity, but if all that person has is a sworn statement, too bad, so sad. You are right though that Trump made a mistake.

A sworn statement PLUS a jury that believes it. It's quite common that there's evidence cutting each way -- reasons to believe the witness is telling the truth, and reasons to believe she isn't. Our system is to resolve such conflicts by leaving it up to the jury.

You may think the system is crap, right up until the moment that you're the victim. Somebody accosts you on the street, holds you up at gunpoint, and takes your wallet. No witnesses, no cameras, but you got a good look at the perp and you readily identify him in the police lineup. You want him to be forced to give back your money. Alas, all you have is your sworn statement. Are you still saying "too bad, so sad"?
