This is bullshit and you know it. The idea of the justice system here is 'innocent until proven guilty'. It's a fallacy. People will always place some sort of guilt association with the defendant. That's just human nature. There are plenty of men in jail for rape that never committed the act. There are many more who did. The system isn't always correct.

I don't know what state you are in, but around here in yee-haw land, convictions are more common than aquittals.
I don't think anyone here is advocating rape. I think we're merely stating that when we have a system that is abused already, a law like this could do nothing more than facilitate that abuse. Will it help? I'm sure it will in some instances, but it would be my speculation that it would end up doing more damage than people intended.
