"Oh, you can't prove it so I never did it!"

I say, there is no smoke without fire.

Just because some time has passed means that a man cannot be found guilty of a crime. This appears to be Kavanaugh all over again.

Don't we want something better for ourselves and our children than settling for someone who managed to get away with atrocious behavior?

And we whine about the priests and the politicians when it is us that allows them to continue their actions.

Yes, it's like Kavanaugh all over again: One person's accusation, no legally meaningful substantiating evidence.

Why has "accusation equals guilt" suddenly become fashionable? I understand the political opportunism factor working in the Kavanaugh case, but where was the comparable cynical motivation with this local case??

Haven't you people learned anything, at all, from the Duke lacrosse-team debacle, or the U. of Virginia hoax? Plenty of people were sure those accusations were true, too. It's easy to do that, provided that the measure of truth is your own armchair opinion.

Assumptions - It is easy to make an assumption especially when you only hear or know just part of an incident. I don't think you can even compare this local story to the national debate. Even so this is such a slow news day kinda of story and not really that important except to the people that work together or know these people. As for me, don't know them. Don't care.

Of course, this is similar to the Kavanaugh case. Anyone can make an allegation but they need evidence to convince rational people.

To those comparing this with Kavanaugh, it would have been entirely appropriate to consider these accusations in 2014 when he was being considered for Police Chief, if they had been raised then.

Why don't we just make all men guilty of rape and sexual misconduct based on just accusations?
That would make it so it's easy to ascertain the truth and then the "meetoo women" could just move on with their agenda against men.
