The presumption of innocence is an irrational bias that we introduce in criminal cases in order to favor false negatives over false positives. If you think that we should all be applying the presumption of innocence to each other all the time, then you've fundamentally misunderstood the nature of the principle that you think you're defending.
I think the original post didn't provide citations because Krauss's inappropriate behavior is well known and easy to verify from the sources in the Wikipedia article.
This discussion would be a lot easier if you'd just make your defense of Krauss, instead of accusing everyone else of being part of a mob. Krauss is not the victim. The victims are the women he harassed and the sex slaves of the pimp who bankrolled him, and who he publicly defended. Extraordinarily, you still talk vaguely as if there is some realistic doubt about any of this.
