My GF told me today that she knows a guy who is currently being charged for apparently sexually harassing a 17yo girl. The problem is that there is apparently video evidence and witnesses which pretty much prove that he did nothing wrong.

However none of these evidence are allowed to be shown in court as it may cause the judge to go bias against the female who is accusing this guy. The guy although has very good evidence which he cannot use has no other way of proving himself innocent and it's word of mouth from the girl which they are taking over his.

The guy is looking at 5+ years and the girl is looking at a nice pay check. How in the world does that work out? My pop was thrown in gaol (and has an AVO of 2 years he cannot have dropped) for something similar before being found innocent by the Supreme Court. I don't understand how females can get away with such stuff.

Can someone explain to me why this guy is not allowed to show his evidence?

EDIT: Actually IIRC the evidence was thrown out due to the reason above (about judge being bias). Also note the the judge was female.
