Civil and Criminal trials should have the same standards of proof. It’s complete bullshit that a person’s livelihood (wealth, future income) can be stolen from an accusation lacking in evidence sufficient to convict them of the crime.
We see this shit play out in the bogus rape allegations against conservatives (e.g. Kavanaugh, Trump) that seek to destroy their political careers, but clearly lack standing or evidence sufficient to convict (ie. No one filed a police report 30 years ago).

How does a rape, assault trial go to civil court? It's the bigger problem. Why has a civil court got jurors? Honk.
Literal kangaroo court.
