The victim not cooperating is the reason why chance of conviction is low. The video is almost useless in my opinion, even a bad cross should destroy that evidence. Plus, consent has to take place during the act, so post act evidence is borderline inadmissible. Either way, unless the individual videos confirmation of consent after every sexual encounter it has a strong negative inference in this case.
