Or it could be that she refused him sex four times and he still forced himself upon her, and she simply had to find the courage to tell someone. Just because you've had sex with someone previously doesn't mean they cannot turn you down.
A guilty plea is a sign of overwhelming evidence pointing to guilt.
Seeing how the church caught the pastors texts before it had turned sexual, there would have been plenty of reasons to belive her over the pastor.
Furthermore, pleading guilty doesn't imply that the prosecution has overwhelming evidence at all, on the contrary. You don't need any evidence to convict anyone of rape, just the accusation of the victim.
No matter how consensual the sex was, if a woman decides it was rape, just go ahead and bend over and accept the raping the judicial system is about to lay on you.
Rape is just one of those instances that requires one to prove thier innocence, any lawyer will advise you to take a plea deal.
