In legal issues, which is what this is, precision of language is crucial. That's why you'll often find me picking nits in this type of discussion.

The person accused of rape or sexual assault also has rights. We have a very strong reason to require proof of guilt, not of innocence. The assumption that the accuser is correct is a violation of that requirement, no matter what the crime.

When you use a general "we" in your argument, your argument fails when some of those in the "we" group do not act as you say "we" do. Language (and logic) is funny that way.
