If you're wondering why I'm not sharing the kiwifarm link or her name, it's not just because this woman might be innocent. It's also because I don't really believe in online shaming campaigns punishing people in ways that be the responsibility of the legal system*. Sometimes it might be necessary for an online campaign against someone to exist in order for the legal system to take interest in said person. Her University has supposedly already been informed of the accusations and has added them to the University's investigation. Presumably the trial of Chris Chan will deal with these accusations as well.

*Although of course if someone commits a horrific crime like murder and gets off with a light sentence, it is tempting to raise awareness about this person if they own businesses that can be boycotted. But that's a separate issue.

Yes, as someone said above she may be culpable and certainly may be a horrible person but in the end the act itself was committed by Chris and therefore, he is responsible for it. I think things he wrote to Null demonstrate he knew what he was doing was wrong.
