If there are no witnesses then nothing can be proved nor the charge can be pressed against you.
There might be other evidence though that he/she has left on the victim, like strains of hair, bruises that fits his/hers hand etc. Also if the victim's story is believable and his/hers isn't as in not being able to explain where she/he was at that moment, it can still be a conviction. There are a lot of details going into this and many times it's the details that helps a rape victim for instance since it's rare there are witnesses.
