No fake allegation needs to be involved. It can be a true allegation of something that is not actually wrong. For instance: ‘These guys were on the same team as one or more accused rapists.’

Let's call it what it really is; rapist hunting. See if anyone has an issue with that.

I already called it what it really is: guilt by association. ‘Rapist hunting’ is not an excuse for punishing people who are not rapists.

That's the witch-hunting mentality right there. ‘It is vitally important that we gossip about this without knowing who the guilty parties are, because we might prevent a crime by ruining the reputations of everyone who
might have been involved.’
