There is also a significant difference between murder and rape cases, it's easier to prove someone killed someone than raped them because in a rape case all things like DNA evidence will prove is if intercourse occurred. In the end every rape case is he said/she said and whoever tells the most convincing story will win.

Getting "trashed" by lawyers or media is overblown these days, back in the day the defense would search your history and if she were under 20 and slept with 3 guys she would be called a slut in open court..today..meh!
Nope the only "trashing" that would work today is if the defense can show a little history of gold digging otherwise it'll just come down to who a judge/jury believes after the evidence is shown.
