If Trump were a bank robber and no one reported the bank robberies to police, but years later decided to "come out" and tell of how he robbed banks no reasonable person would think he was a bank robber based on that unfounded, unreported, unconvicted accusation.
But rape is the special crime, more special than any other, and the accusation should be enough, right? For that matter, we might even say women who don't report rape to the authorities in a timely manner are denying the accused the right to fight the allegations properly in court, so that the unsubstantiated allegations stain their reputation forever.
The obvious difference is that bank robberies tend to have a lot more witnesses and recordings proving the robbery took place at all, let alone the persons involved.
The other obvious difference is that bank robberies don't have a long history of dismissal with excuses like “well the bank was asking to get robbed; look what it's wearing” or “the bank's husband doesn't need consent to take money out of it” or “it doesn't count as a stick-up if the bank is closed for the night”.
