Case was dropped, that’s the end of it.

I don't agree with this attitude. I'm wary of branding him a rapist or sexual assaulter without any deeper research, but a dropped case is not the end of things, morally speaking, in just about any serious offense.

I don't know anything about this case, but if we don't know the truth, shouldn't both parties be treated as innocent?

I'm wary of branding him a rapist or sexual assaulter...

I feel that questioning his appearance because of those accusations is exactly that.

I haven't questioned his appearance at the games. I'm just trying not to come off as saying that the accusations are definitely false and we should completely ignore anyone who hasn't been convicted, especially since I didn't follow the details of the case closely when it happened.

Sorry, I somehow thought the top of this thread was you.

I now got what you were actually saying.
