ok... here's my read.
I have a pretty good idea what it takes to get a sexual abuse case criminally prosecuted, especially when the victim(s) are minorities. DA's in most states prosecute less that 10% of sexual abuse cases reported to police, for various reasons.
For the case to have been prosecuted AT ALL means the DA believes she has a proveable case with believable witnesses. Generally, it also means significant physical evidence or prior victims exist.
OF COURSE the man is innocent until proven guilty, but no prosecutor brings this kind of case without significant assurance that she can make her case. (BEEN THERE, done that...)
