Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Just because she cannot prove he raped her, does not mean he didn't rape her.

It isn't, but unlike many sexual assault cases, it sounds like this one has been thoroughly investigated to the fullest extent possible and they have found nothing to even indicate he had sex with her, let alone raped her (or that anyone raped her). What she's describing should have left ample physical evidence, especially where she was seen 25 hours later, but there was nothing. In a case like this, there's no reason not to think he's innocent.

For that matter, where neither recalls the events of the night, even if a rape did occur, they technically raped each other. That's not necessarily convincing testimony, since "I was drunk and I forget everything" is a convenient cop-out if giving an actual testimony, but if that's been accepted as the official story, they're equally guilty.

This crap is becoming frighteningly common.

It really isn't. A small handful of high-profile false accusations are noticeable, but that doesn't mean they comprise a significant percentage of all accusations.
