Let's make this thought experiment. Is someone raped ALL the people beside the judge. But did this all 1-by-1 without witnesses. And they all coming forward. Should the judge sentence him on the "testimony alone"?
It really feels like saying "no" would mean that the system is not working in a big way. Saying "yes" on other means that there is a number of people cumming forward that should be considered a credible evidence., right?
