Just because somebody has been found not guilty, doesn't necessarily mean they didn't do it, you may just not be able to prove it.

He may claim that she wasn't asleep, but was she fully awake and aware? Even if she was awake, did he say or do anything, in order for her to consent, or did he simply surprise her, which would be rape. The 2 women feel that there is something to complain about.
There are documented instances of women making far more severe accusations of rape, the accused has (in some instances) had to move away, change his name, or in rare instances committed suicide.
Yet often there is little if any justice for the accused.
That is a very unfair system, and people assuming the accused is guilty when they haven't even heard his testimony is just plain ridiculous.
