I understand the concern, but please keep in mind that for many (if not most) victims of sexual harassment face considerable skepticism when they bring their claims forward, and that much of psychological trauma of sexual harassment arises from getting the authorities or the public or even their own friends to acknowledge that such harassment occurred in the first place. In that sense, Tor's announcement is less about Jacob per se and more about reassuring the victims (or people worried about becoming victims) that there's a place for them in the Tor community.
I don't have any answers for how you reconcile that with Jacob's presumed innocence or the risk that everyone got it wrong. Especially if the victims are unable or unwilling to bring legal charges. But I'm not sure how Tor would be able to move forward without some sort of public acknowledgement of Jacob's actions.
