Was he convicted? Accusations are free to make

They are, yet less than 2% of accusations are actually false, so piss off with the "only accusations" bullshit as if it isn't at least a massive red banner of a flag.

That’s an interesting stat - where are you getting that from?

Different sources claim different numbers, but the rate is considered by most sources to be low.

While the statistics on false allegations vary – and refer most often to rape and sexual assault – they are invariably and consistently low. Research for the Home Office suggests that only 4% of cases of sexual violence reported to the UK police are found or suspected to be false. Studies carried out in Europe and in the US indicate rates of between 2% and 6%.

So he wasn't convicted.

Innocent until proven guilty bud.

Innocent until proven guilty bud.

That means the government shouldn't just start throwing everyone in jail at the first accusation. That doesn't mean the public can't or shouldn't act on the information.

The information that nobody has proven in a court of law? That's for barbarians

You do realize that people also have the right of free association? The government needs to meet a very high standard before it can deprive someone of life, liberty, or property. Members of the public may refuse to do business with a person, or socially ostracize them, based on whatever information they have available.

Sure but then don't pretend there is anything righteous about it, it's just rumours until proven.
