Under what circumstances will a jury uphold a sexual assault charge?

³⁵ See United States v. McCoy , 995 F.3d 32, 61 (2d Cir. 2021) ("In considering a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence to support a conviction, we view the evidence, whether direct or circumstantial, in the light most favorable to the government, crediting every inference that could have been drawn in the government's favor, and deferring to the jury's assessments of witness credibility and the weight of the evidence."); id. ("[A] conviction will be upheld so long as, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. " (quoting Jackson v. Virginia , 443 U.S. 307, 319, 99 S.Ct. 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979) )).
