In a court of law - they need to be able to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt to charge you. If they can’t prove you were going to the torrent site to download illegal content, a good lawyer will get you off. They may try, but don’t make their job easy. The more obscured you are, the harder it is for the content owners to sue and they will likely move to an easier target.
Lawsuits are won with money in the US. I’d lose before I walked into the courtroom. They’d be on script the entire time and rehearsed if the entire operation wasn’t planned to make an example of someone to begin with.
