Witch hunting is using a fake allegation to go after people you don't like for ulterior motives.
This wasn't a fake allegation, it's a rape allegation, and the people are based on a small list where nearly half were involved and several have made statements explicitly a) saying they weren't involved and b) saying the allegations are reprehensible. Dube's agent's statement left room for him to be involved but also tried to clear the players involved by saying no wrongdoing occurred. Both of those are worrisome statements.
Let's call it what it really is; rapist hunting. See if anyone has an issue with that.
