Can rape be convicted only by the reported population?

Rape is only a population report and cannot be convicted. If only the defendant confessed and there was no other evidence, the defendant could not be found guilty and punished. In the rape case, there is only the confession of the defendant, and there is no other evidence to prove that the defendant is guilty. If the evidence is not true and sufficient, it cannot be sentenced. The crime of rape should be proved by evidence from two aspects. One is to prove that both men and women have sexual relations. The second is to prove that having sex is against women's wishes.
