You have to remember the impact this has on society though. The vast, vast majority of sexual assault allegations are ignored and this has only started to improve recently. By not thoroughly investigating you send a message to victims (a shockingly large minority) that nothing is changing. Even if he is completely innocent (as he may well be) a thorough investigation is extremely important.
Of course, then there's his behavior while testifying and the contradicting accounts of his drinking.
- tomp 8y agoI disagree (with the first paragraph). I think we're sending a completely wrong message. The message we should be sending is, (1) protect yourself (i.e. personal responsibility, holds true for all members of the society, but unfortunately a highly controversial suggestion), (2) say "no" (if you boss asks you for sexual favours), and (3) report them to the police. Instead, we're promoting mob justice, lack of due process, lying (most of the false accusers get away with it unscathed) and sexism (believe women). I also wouldn't be surprised if this sets back the "equality movement" significantly, as more CEOs implement the "Pence rule" of not spending alone time with women (including employees).
