Except that the church did nothing when they caught those texts coming from the youth pastor. What does that tell you about their commitment to him? Surely at that point they should not have needed a complaint from her at all; we have here a man abusing a position of authority within his church for sexual gain, and all the church did was tell him "stop it."

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.
Here's what a legal advice website says. Who should I believe, them or you?

So yeah, would you plead guilty to a false charge of rape, knowing that a dismissal is possible?
I wouldn't. When I die, the only thing I'll leave behind is my good name -- and I'll defend that, especially against false charges. Your mileage seems to vary.
