The question is wether there was sexual violence.
The claim from your screenshot answers that with a 'no': "It was all fabricated".
Though what you provide to support that claim (I did not open the link) does not support it. On the contrary, it even provides accounts of sexual violence.
There is a 2nd, different claim muddled within: Wether sexual violence can be proven in court.
Of course, that can be difficult for a number of reasons related to sexual violence ("victims were murdered", "not prepared to reveal"). But failure to prove an offense does by no means conclude that the accusations were "all fabricated".
Maybe this is related to people confusing proof and evidence. Evidence (even numerous and strong) can exist although a proof is not possible.
Feel free to clear things up if I missed your point. At the moment, it is not understandable how that guy jumps from "there is evidence, but we will have trouble proving in court" to "it was all fabricated". If you can add something which closes this gap, that would help your point.
