Innocent, hopefully.
If someone accuses me of something, I'd hope they'd try to prove it.
- TylerE 14y agoThey did. He is on record for running the site, and didn't offer any evidence that he is no longer running the site.
- Karunamon 14y agoHow the heck does one prove they're not doing something anymore? Whether that "something" be beating your wife, cheating on your spouse, or running an illegal website? Can't prove a negative.
- Joakal 14y agoIf he's able to prove that someone else is involved, then it appears that he's involved again.
- eli 14y agoWell, presumably there was some amount of evidence submitted that he was still running the site. We don't know how strong it was, but if the standard is "preponderance of the evidence" then something beats nothing.
- adestefan 14y agoThere is no guilt or innocence in a civil case. Instead there is a finding for one of the parties involved. In this case one party said, "You used to do this and you said you wouldn't anymore. Do you still do it?" and he answered "I'm not going to tell you." Of course the finding is going to go against him.
