This doesn't seem to be anything new or different. Just because a muder victim's blood is found on your clothes and you are holding a knife doesn't necessarily mean you are the murderer -- but it is evidence.

At the end of the day you will be tried by a judge or a jury. If your only defense is some kind of grand, implausible chain of maybes and what-ifs, they will rule against you. If you have a perfectly reasonable explanation, then they won't.

An IP is just evidence.
