Cops are notoriously bad at solving sex crimes often treating the victims as if their suspects.
Trump has bragged about sexual assault on tape and was found to be defamatory in civil court regarding his statements about a victim of rape from him but he was never convicted in criminal court for that type of offense but relying on the courts to judge whether a sex crime happened isn't a good idea considering law enforcement is bad at investigating that sort of thing and there is the "he said, she said" myth which privileges the denial.
