Also...I don't know why people don't know this but you can get around the SoL in most states if you feared for your life or if there are certain reasons that you couldn't report.
Then simply answer the question: how to you prove consent? even a consent agreement/contract can be cohearsed.
Even if you put the whole session on tape on could simply claim "i had to act that way because of XYZ" again consent in an internal psychological state of mind which can change over time.
Aren't you the douchebag who told people to google? Funny you don't know how to do it for yourself. Intent is proven beyond a reasonable doubt in every criminal case that's found guilty and is not a strict liability charge. Lack of consent is proven beyond a reasonable doubt in every rape case where the defendant is found guilty. You don't need to prove anything for a fact to try a case. You need to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. The best way to do this is going to be directly after the crime when rape kits and psych evals and suspect interrogations take place. Years later this is typically done with reliable witness testimony.
Where is your brain? If this wasn't possible we would never have a single criminal conviction apart from strict liability crimes that do not require a proof of mens rea
