Again, Hehr may or may not have committed assault against her, but he has lost his job and will never get a chance for that to be proven one way or another. This young lady gets her life turned upside down without getting a chance to help prove the allegations in the right way and with proper justice being doled out.
Why? Because it has become the norm to circumvent the court of law and the due process it provides, in favor of the court of social justice, twitterverse and popular opinion.
There was never any doubt this kind of mentality was, and will continue, to lay waste to all sorts of people along the way, both innocent and guilty.

Are you suggesting that women who go through police channels recieve less harassment from the public than women who just go public with the info?
And what would you go to the police with in the Kent Hehr case? I don't think being called "yummy" would ever be prosecuted yet it is something that is not acceptable for our MPs to do.
There is a big gap between it's acceptable for an elected official an criminal.
