That's what I was wondering too. I know of one case where the guy was stupid enough to say, he didn't want to see the girl again, and it was just a one night stand, and because the girl’s friends knew she was going out with a well-known man, she yelled rape instead of saying she consented and was humiliated, or at least that's my take of the Tyson case.
