That is because our system is comprised on the notion of innocent until proven guilty. I am sure back a few years ago, the woman’s' word was stronger than the mans, but because of some many "fake rapes" accusing men, a lot of people, especially men, will not go solely off the woman’s' word anymore.

I agree with you and fully support that being the way the system works, I wouldn't even say that I disagree with it being necessary when prosecuting rape and sexual assult reports. It is, however, one of the many reasons so many incidents go unreported. Regarding the penetration while the man was passed out issue goes, I'm not sure how that type of case would go. I've never heard of a case like that being reported so it's tough to say how one would be prosecuted. I'm sure you'd have doctors involved proving that the individual was "drunk enough to not be able to consent but sober enough to sustain an erection" and other types of things if it did. But that's hearsay on my end because I've yet to see one while knowing any degree of particulars about it.

Fake rape reports? Well, they're just very few in number, any installation resource coordinator will tell you that. If they're not involved somehow in any case occurring in the military we've already identified part of the problem. Fake reports exist but they're really not common enough to be significant compared to the number of unreported actual incidents. Again, not for me to decide. If I was educated to think like a trial lawyer and judge I'd expect to be paid like one as well.
