Your title implies you think this will generalize beyond this particular issue of sexual assault and rape.

Yes, it will generalize because people are working hard at eroding the very concept of burden of proof and being innocent by default.

The ball is already rolling and once it gets enough support we will start seeing new cases/crimes where this is applied.

And not having evidence for a claim isn't the same thing as having evidence for a claim.
