So, it is no different than for any other sort of accusation lacking corroborating evidence?

Is there evidence that this is more likely in sexual assault cases than others? Your post here [1] (and the post you are replying to) seem to suggest that it is actually less likely in these cases.

I think all cases that are based only/mostly on a victim's statement are very difficult to prove. In my other comment, I was pointing out that sex-based cases are more likely to be based mostly on a victim's statement than other cases.

Indeed - there seems to be an absence of empirical evidence for any more specific claim than that such claims are difficult to prove.
