If you can't prove it, (the burden of proof being on the prosecution/authorities), you have to assume the accused is not guilty.

Especially as the burden of proof in such civil hearings is only 'more likely than not' rather than 'beyond reasonable doubt' which is almost exclusively reserved for the criminal courts.

So the panel found that it 'probably didn't happen'.

"Not proven" is only a verdict option in Scotland, in criminal cases, and they are looking to bin it as it confuses people and serves no real purpose.
