It's never solely the word of the victim. You can look at other evidence.

What we- law enforcement officers with experience in the matter- are telling you is that there often is no other evidence.

Ok, so you have bruising and slap/bite/impact marks. With the amount of people so loudly/proudly into extremely rough sex how do you decide which is consensual and which is rape?
​
Obviously theres going to be cases where someone puts it in writing like "I'm sorry I heard you say stop, but I didn't want to" but for the cases when its only physical evidence like marks/injuries how do you decide who is truthful the aggressor saying the victim was into the rough stuff and asked for it or the victim saying they didn't consent at all? This just gets harder when days pass between the crime and reporting.

What other evidence do you expect to always be there and able to be looked at to determine if an act was consensual or not, when one party says it was and the other says it wasn't?
