My crazy, homeless lady down the street analogy still applies here. We can take out the ghosts. If she runs up and down the block saying she was raped by John Cena, I think it's fair to be more skeptical than you would if a more level-headed, trustworthy human being said the same. And that's the same with literally any crime.

And at no point should "Statistically, in other cases, the guy is usually guilty" come in to play. And without a doubt, going out of your way to make it clear that John Cena could definitely have raped that crazy homeless lady because "statistically" the accused is usually guilty is really fucked. Without calling him guilty, you're absolutely tying a stigma of guilt to him based on nothing but an accusation that can be made by anyone at any time.
