No one should be denied participation in commerce or public engagement from an accusation. That said, given this guy's history, I expect he'll get a guilty verdict. Perverts do perverted things. It's like drug use: they have to keep getting more extreme for the same sexual high.

Verdict? There are no charges let alone a trial. The goal here is not to convict him in court it is to convict him in the court of public opinion which they were easily able to accomplish with only headlines.

What history exactly are you referring to? His past addictions which he has always been quite vocal about and until now wasn't considered a rapist or a pervert.

If that's the case, once again, fuck the media: the enemy of the people.

This is all coming from "anonymous" sources. So it all comes down to a reporters word of what a secret person told them happened 20 years ago.
