This is why the internet is toxic. We should reserve judgment for when the fact-finding is done and a proper investigation has been completed.

At this point, they are just allegations. Justice is not judging or condemning someone before their guilt can be proven. This is why we have law, to prevent mob rule where the only thing necessary is an allegation that stirs the emotions of the masses. In this age, anyone can say anything and they can even get friends to support those claims. It happens all the time, even at the very top. in fact, it is one of the strongest political tactics that is often used to remove troublesome people from the equation. Because it requires no proof, once the allegations are made the damage is already done.

I am not saying he didn't do it, and I am certainly not saying he did. I am saying we need to leave the judgment to the law. then we can make our judgments when it is done.
