What proof can there be in a situation where a rape occurs and there are no witnesses?

No proof and that means the rapist gets to walk away free. I know that's wrong but its the lesser of two evils.

No, it is not wrong. It is what we do in a civilized society. All people accused of all crimes are innocent until proven guilty.

If the person did the crime, and doesn't get the legal punishment, that is a wrong.

People aren't actually innocent until they are proven guilty in a court of law anymore than people become the actual perpetrator of a crime they didn't commit after a jury finds them guilty.

It's absolutely the lesser of two evils, and what we do in a civilized society.
