At least one of the down votes you got was for the last sentence in your post. Stopping sexual assault should concern everyone!

  >Stopping sexual assault should concern everyone! Well, some downvotes should come your way for misattribution too then. I didn't say that "Stopping sexual assault should not concern us" (or anything to that effect). I said the case is of no concern to us. First, it's not our place to make judgements of guilt or innocence without knowing what transpired and not even knowing those people. Ee don't even know for sure whether it was actually sexual assault or not -- that's for the law to decide. (Of course we might be suspicious of the law, or a specific court result, or the way a trial was conducted etc. But we are not even at that stage yet). Plus, you're not stopping sexual assault by saying you are against it in an internet forum (and concerning an undecided case). Heck, even rapists would say they are "against sexual assault" in public.
