Not in an instant of rape, and not when it's obvious what happened, regardless of whether it can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.
You have yet to answer why his body guards would have to lead a girl into a bathroom that was willing and why his bodyguards would need to guard the door.
Explain how that's not evidence to anyone with a reasonably functional brain.
However, in terms of legality, it does cast a shadow of a doubt, but not in terms of common sense.
That’s circumstantial evidence. Rather than direct proof, it requires that you infer a conclusion. You can’t conceive of another conclusion because you don’t want to. But another explanation is in fact possible. If Roethlisberger’s associates were under the impression that she was actually seeking intimacy (and let’s not forget she was wearing a ‘DTF’ tag), both the escorting and the guarding could have been intended as finding (and protecting) a private place. Consensual lovers want privacy just as much as rapists, no? That’s common sense, too, isn’t it?
I’m not trying to say that’s definitely what happened, only that it’s more possible than you seem to think. And I’m very confident that you’d be way more willing to consider that possibility had a Bengal player been involved.
Speaking of that, you’ve had two chances now to deny that you’d support an accused Bengal player in the absence of a conviction, and both times you went back to a whataboutism. Can we just agree that I’m right about that now?
