An equally important question to ask is, if you are accused of such harassment, what do you do? In the U.S. we have the concept of "innocent until proven guilty", but due to the sensitive nature of the alleged crime, the accused may be treated by their peers and the media as guilty, even before proceedings begin. Everyone's claims should be taken entirely seriously, but with the ability to inflict ever-lasting damage on the accused' reputation, I have questioned if people will start (or have been) abusing this power... and with our attention-driven media, the media will not hesitate one moment to post the headline. I've contemplated the idea that with this crime, accusers and the accused should enter a private court, so the media wouldn't know the situation until the verdict is delivered. If either party leaks that they are in this process, the case will be forfeited. Of course, there are serious problems here that if there is no publicity, society cannot check-and-balance the process if abuse occurs. At a high level though, what this idea should accomplish is to allow the process to do its thing, and to prevent knee-jerk reactions to the charge from people who have no stake in the matter.
