That's like asking a random police officer to solve who hacked into Ashley Maddison. He wouldn't even know where to start.
Sure, but I think a) you're underestimating how far rape investigations have come (most jurisdictions have dedicated rape/sexual abuse departments, or at least would bring people in from other jurisdictions if they're small and the case is serious), and b) it's a pointless argument to say we have to move away from police investigations in rape cases.

The reason you have no idea what the solution is but just know we can't trust an investigation is because it's a non starter in Canada or the States to completely abandon due process and put people on trial just because it's an emotional area that's hard to prove.

There's a lot of crimes that are hard to prove and 100% of the time the answer has been to figure out how to better train/facilitate police forces to deal with it, not go "Hey America, we're abandoning the justice system for rape because it's hard to prove, so........be careful when you're alone with anyone guys!!!".
