I know a guy who was accused of rape and it went to trial. He was instructed to pick a judge over jury by his lawyer because judges have a better outcome for defendants in rape cases overall. I can actually believe this tbh. Judges still have some standard of competence they are supposed to adhere to, especially if the case isn't high-profile but juries do not.

As society is increasingly becoming less white overall and more "feminine way", getting a jury on rape cases might actually work out way worse for the accused. You have black people on juries that just want to see white men go to prison, regardless of any details involved and women often simply take the woman's side just because. Juries are hardly "of your peers" anymore.

Obviously, this is a terrible change but I honestly don't think there's much difference between a judge or jury for most guys these days. You're fucked either way.

The guy who was accused of rape won his case with the judge for those that care.
