I don't think even a preponderance of evidence is likely to happen in many cases. It's simply one person's word against another, and both have obvious motive to lie. However, "more likely than not" is a pretty scary phrase. What does that actually mean? That the faculty find the girl's tone and body language more believable than the guy's, or vice versa? That we all know "boys will be boys," so he probably did it? That the girl is doing more to draw attention to herself than to take legal action, so she has something to gain from it?
