Guilty even if proven innocent

Monika Johnson-Hostler, a sexual assault advocate, just said this on Fox News O'Reilly Factor:
We are very clear in this country that just because someone is acquitted in court has never, in the history of this country, meant that they were actually innocent.
She was arguing that rape accusers never lie, and that the Duke lacrosse boys should be considered guilty of rape even if the court acquits them.

She is wrong. This country has always said that people are innocent until proven guilty. And I think that the accuser is lying in this case.

This blog claims to have a picture of the accuser.
