"There's no such thing as guilty or innocent when it comes to sexual harassment."
If there are no procedures and we leave justice to public opinion then it's nothing more than a witchhunt.
"It's not a crime "
It is in pretty much any modern country.

- curun1r 9y agoOn the contrary, we're left with a social remedy to a problem specifically when we don't have laws that governing a specific behavior. Our morality is not limited to what we codify into law. You might even argue that the court of public opinion is the tip of the spear that helps us determine what should and shouldn't be covered by laws. And, by the way, we do rely on public opinion to do our bidding in the justice system. They're called juries.
