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?

There often isn't other evidence. That's the point people are making.

Figure out how consent[1] was communicated.

Most acquaintance rapists incorrectly view the rape as consensual[2]. So, often you'll find it's not that one party is lying, it's that one party is a moron.
