How lots of men accused and jailed for harassing a woman sexually with no evidences ?

I've seen lots of videos of multiple people get jailed for years for a fake sexual harassment accusations and I wonder that how on Earth judges allege such verdict with no evidences of this guy assaulting a woman? like any one of us right could be accused by random women as we assaulted them ?

    That's truly interesting as in most jurisdictions sexual harassment isn't even a crime (sexual battery/assault however is). People who commit sexual harassment get fired, "cancelled" and are sometimes the recipients of public scorn. They do not go to jail and certainly not "for years". Your confusion probably has to do with not understanding the difference between verbal harassment and physically touching someone, which would in some cases raise the stakes to battery/assault.

    You don't go to jail for sexual harassment.  Harassment and assault are not the same.  People generally do not get convicted with no evidence, if they have an even slightly competent lawyer.

    False. Give us ONE (1) criminal code section for "sexual harassment." Involves facts, dude.
