Women have already come forward and had their lives destroyed. If the general public believed them during their trials, or honestly, if they weren't intimidated into dropping their case, this shit would already be in prison.

But the testimony of women is valued less by the justice system than the testimony of rich powerful men. That's the problem. There is less trust in women overall, across the board in this patriarchal society.

refute thier claims

That's what the defense is supposed to be attempting in an adversarial trial system.

My current bias is that an adversarial system is a good way to actually achieve justice, but I'd be open to learning about non-adversarial criminal trials.
