He'd never even met the woman who accused him, and police showed no interest in his irrefutable evidence that he couldn't have done it. There's little tolerance for muddying the waters by looking at what the same system does to wrongly accused men.

The accused person's legal costs are then reimbursed - out of the public purse. Each certificate is an official admission that a man was put through the ordeal of a sexual assault trial the Crown should never have brought.
