Garrison Keillor seemed like a case where the punishment outweighed the facts as we currently know them.

  > the punishment outweighed the facts as we currently know them How many years is he currently serving?

    Not sure if you’re being facetious or maybe english isn’t your first language, but I’m trying to give people the benefit of the doubt over the holidays, so here you go: his employer took away his current show, stopped playing reruns of Prairie Home Companion, which had been on the air for decades, and renamed the current version (it has had a new host for a couple of years). So far all we know is his story that he accidentally touched a woman’s back under her shirt while consoling her, apologized, apologized again via email, had apology acknowledged and accepted. While an employer may punish an employee by firing them and destroying their legacy as they see fit, they thankfully can not put anyone behind bars. Obviously nothing has gone to trial, and the accuser hasn’t even spoken to the media.

      That's only one case. There are more allegations.
