For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Sexual assault is notoriously hard to proof. The system is set up that you need verifiable evidence. Your word against their worddoesn't cut it, you need video or biological evidence or something. 9 out of 10 (don'tquote me on that) sexual assault cases get dismissed because of a lack of evidence.
