False reasoning and comparison.
Not all rapes are extremely difficult to prove factually. Many have maple facts, so many are easy to prosecute with factual evidence.
If we were to go by your reasoning, we would have to agree all rapes are extremely difficult to prove, so no rapes should be investigated to find proof. Therefore, no rapes should be prosecuted.
We all know that to be false because many rapes have been investigated, and though the proof was difficult to find, it was found. The prosecutor used to proof to convict the rapist and justice prevailed.
In a rape, answer the question you posed. What is proof of a rape? It does exist, doesn't it?
It has to, or there would be no rapists in prison. In our system, proof is determined by a jury of our peers. It is usually, but not always, based on facts. There are some instances where proof is based on logic. Either is still proof. Both have convicted rapists.
