I agree it's concerning to destroy people lives on Allegations. And if random dude on Facebook starts being lynched and fired for accusations outside the workplace then we have gone to far. But when you choose to enter a position of public trust you are and should be held to a higher standard than a lack of a criminal conviction.
Really the process for this should be internal HR processes which certainly is a lower standard than the courts and in place of evidence severance is paid. Can't really do that for an elected official.

I would like to see innocent until proven guilty....regardless of the profession or whether the person is in public life or private life. I think all should be treated equally. I realize I might as well ask for a unicorn and a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, as thats not how it will ever get back to, but one can wish.
As for the bolded I believe we have already seen some these kind of results and I also think it is just the tip of the iceberg as to whats coming.
