This is civil law.  In some ways the burden of proof should be on him to prove he's going to be a safe and constructive member of the kids' life.  
The judge's role should be more like arbitrating than deciding who is "right".  It's not an easy case.

I agree with that.  If indeed it was rape, that would be very unfortunate for her to have to share the child with the father, but unless she can go to court and get a judge to side with her, the father has to have visitation rights.
