Was Tom Robinson guilty of assaulting and raping Mayella Ewell in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird?

Despite the contradicting testimonies of the Ewells and a lack of evidence, Tom Robinson is wrongly convicted of assaulting and raping Mayella Ewell. Mayella Ewell made sexual advances towards Tom Robinson, prompting Tom to run out of her home. Still, Bob Ewell witnessed Mayella kiss Tom, and Bob Ewell proceeded to assault his daughter. Atticus explains in his closing remarks that Mayella felt guilty about breaking the "time-honored code" of not having relations with a black man. In order to cover up her offense and protect her father, she falsely accused Tom Robinson of assaulting and raping her. Atticus illuminates the fact that Tom Robinson has a crippled left hand and would not have been able to inflict the serious injuries to the right side of Mayella's face that she has. Mayella's bruises around her neck also indicate that someone with two strong hands choked her. Atticus suggests that Bob Ewell assaulted his daughter in order to punish Mayella for kissing Tom. Although Tom Robinson is not guilty, he becomes another victim of racial injustice after he is wrongly convicted.
