Oh okay then we should just dismiss it?

  "we" as in "a group of people not in a position to provide any evidence or investigate"? Yes, absolutely, because all "we" would be adding to the conversation is speculation. No new information can be gained here.

    Who said "we" were going to investigate or speculate? There is a difference between a witch hunt and making sure underheard voices get attention. I was suggesting "we" make sure these claims are not being ignored because they are against a public figure. The fact they are a public figure and "might get blackmailed all the time" doesn't somehow relieve a person of criticism. That "we" ensure the proper authorities and groups prioritize finding new information or investigate these claims instead of being swept under a rug.

  Absolutely. We have a justice system, not mob justice. False accusations happen all the time. I feel like anyone that feels like you have had pretty charmed lives if you've never known the type of person that would do that.

    Who brought up mob justice? Real accusations happen all the time too. Nah, I've been homeless and in institutions, I'm well aware of the types of people out here. Just saying we shouldn't sweep things under the rug just because the person is a public figure or "has family begging for handouts" or "is at risk of blackmail". We should ensure the proper authorizes investigate and the potential victim is not drowned out by more powerful voices.
