I think both sides, prosecution and defence, have to disclose all materials to each other before trial.
If prosecution really just proceed on what the girl say without substantial proof, can apply for penalties against the lawyer as well.
So,very unlikely just what the girl say.
Which lawyer will want to risk potential reprimand/sanctions on file.

I saw this from another thread.
The guy admitted straight from the start and did not contest the charges, and also had family support, so got 3 weeks.

I feel our local courts, the onus is on the accused to disprove the accusation and not the accuser to prove his crime..they always say in the USA it "innocent till proven guilty" but here more like "guilty until proven innocent"...
