"I agree with the basic idea of what you're saying there but I think that the onus should be completely on the prosecution to PROVE 100% without ANY doubt that there was no consent."

Unfortunately, that's an epistemological impossibility. "Beyond a reasonable doubt" is the same standard that is required to convict someone of *any* crime.
