You have 1st hand experience whereas I do not so I agree that a presumption of lying is extremely damaging to victims. I find it inconceivable that police anywhere wouldn’t take an allegation as serious as sexual assault, seriously. But I accept it does happen and that’s wrong.

But again, I think the terminology is the issue. “Believing accusers” instead of “taking all accusers seriously” (subtle but important difference) insinuates that an investigators mind should already be made up. This undermines the principle of due process.
