Isn't the standard in the US that one must "prove beyond a reasonable doubt", which seems like a higher standard than "more likely than not"?

"beyond a reasonable doubt" is only required in criminal cases. a "preponderance of evidence" is the requirement for civil cases.

Yup, and it's not a preponderance of evidence. As has been shown, it's quite possible the things they state are quite innocent.
