I dont know where you’re from, because where I’m from, an accusation is enough to ruin a man’s life and initiate a soviet-style inquiry in which no evidence is necessary, one cannot confront one’s accusers, and no jury is ever consulted.

In my personal life, I have had friends confide in me about sexual harassment and I have supported them unconditionally. However, neither of us are personally involved in the cases you brought up. Therefore, we must take a more conservative and impartial stance and weigh evidence impartially and consider the rights of the accused party to defend themselves. A boy crying “wolf” is not evidence of a wolf.

Also we literally just had a governor resign over sexual assault. His party did try and cover for him, but the Democrat Party and left-leaning media is not society.

I have seen this happen. And it's very unfortunate. What I see more often though, is the other extreme where there is evidence abound and the culprit gets a slap on the wrist. I live in the south, so maybe that's why.
