I did not commit rape at all, yet after having consensual sexual relations, she filed a criminal complaint against me for rape. But then the police believed only the woman's account and referred me to the prosecution on a rape charge.. I have undergone the prosecution's investigation and am now facing trial.. It is unfair, but it seems I should do something to avoid imprisonment, so I looked into it and found something called the criminal deposit system? I heard that it can be refunded if a not-guilty verdict is rendered, so would it be better to use the criminal deposit system first?

The criminal deposit system refers to a system in which a defendant in a criminal case deposits money with the official depository located where the court is situated.
Usually, when a settlement with the victim falls through, the criminal deposit system is used to show that the defendant is reflecting on the offense, and the court regards such a deposit as a factor in mitigation.
As a general principle, the amount deposited through the criminal deposit system cannot be returned. By way of exception, however, it may be returned where a verdict of acquittal has become final, or where the victim consents to the recovery of the deposited money.
However, if you use the criminal deposit system in a situation where the rape charge is not true, as in your case, it may appear as though you acknowledge the charge and show
remorse.
At our firm, an attorney specializing in criminal cases, an attorney specializing in sex crimes, and an evidence examination center collaborate so that, in a client's case, they find favorable evidence, such as CCTV footage near the scene at the time of the incident and records of conversations with the alleged victim, and conduct the defense.
