- What about all the "regular" people who have charges of sexual
- harassment, child abuse, or rape levied against them, and despite
- the charges being dropped, or being found not guilty, are continually
- referred to as "accused rapist, child molstersts" etc? And lose their
- job because of it? Lose a custody battle because of it?
-
- I was not referring to a strictly courtroom version of this, but more
- the media and society in general. People are all too quick to
- convict, lock up and throw away the key on someone before the case
- even hits the courts!
