No, he was accused of this. There's a difference.
In our current political climate, it's very easy to forget a very basic tenet of law: innocent until proven guilty.
When the irrefutable truth is proven and/or he confesses, & a court of law determines him guilty, then we're closer to the truth. But short of that - we'll probably never know.
Absolutely. This is what I have always said about anyone accused of rape because I know a guy who was falsely accused of it and lived in fear because of it. Right off the bat, I want to say that anyone who rapes deserves everything that happens to them. No question or argument about that at all. However, if it is a false accusation, the person who made it needs to be held fully accountable. There was another celeb that was accused of rape and the evidence was flimsy at best. I won't mention who to avoid the endless pointless arguments that have plagued other threads. A Corbin Fisher model was killed because he was accused (falsely) of rape. People who want to throw the legal process (which is there for a damn good reason) out the window need to stop for a minute and think how it would feel if THEY were falsely accused of rape and convicted for it just based on someone's say so. Don't think for a second it can't happen to anyone. We have a legal system for a reason. If anyone ever falsely accused me of rape, I would have my lawyers down their god damn throat so fast, their head would spin. A person's reputation has value that could be permanently damaged from false accusations. This is why laws such as slander and libel exist - to stop people from making false accusations that destroy people's reputations. "You can't unring the bell" as the expression goes. It's a hell of a thing to accuse someone of, so accusers better be telling the truth. If someone is accusing anyone of such a crime out of extortion, blackmail, spite, revenge, etc, they absolutely should pay the price legally and experience some of the hell the other person went through.
