That is one of the horrible aspects of rape -- often there is no evidence.
A man and a women meet. They engage in sexual activity. Was it lust or rape?
The physical evidence may be identical (especially when many rapes do not involve violence but the threat of violence).
What is the difference between lust and rape? Consent. Lust involves consent and rape does not (at least not on the part of both partners).
How do you prove no consent other than asking both parties? What if they disagree?
Unfortunately, a lot of rape cases are a "he said, she said" case and those are hard to judge fairly... unless there is bias.
