And that's not to detract from the seriousness of sexual assault where it has occurred. I don't want to overshadow that, but discuss another potential issue that's arising from stories like this. Any potential victims who believe they've been violated deserve to be heard and shouldn't be dissuaded from coming forward because of these concerns that I know are being brought up online right now by both men and women. But the concern of innocent until proven guilty losing its significance in the modern landscape (now more like innocent until alleged guilty) is a warranted one.
Companies are within their rights to demonetize or cut associations with creators/employees because of mere allegations, but it doesn't mean isn't still rash and reflects poorly on them accused end up being exonerated.
