Allegations of sexual abuse are probably the toughest accusation to discover the real truth... It is, for the most part, he said versus she said. Sadly, our sympathy for potential victims is so strong the many time, we are unwilling to believe there is another side.

I'm watching 60 Minutes right now, and they are interviewing the new IMF chief, who took over for the guy would was accused of raping the hotel maid. Despite all that came to light that totally discredited the accuser, CBS still refers to the chief leaving his job because of a sex scandal. It still suggests he did something improper.

Look at the group supposedly protesting at SU tomorrow, in support of Davis and Lang. They know nothing. They have nothing to determine what is true and what is false. And yet, they are going to protest in support of these men? Will they be so public if the allegations are determined to be completely false?

Again, I am totally disturbed at how people can so easily believe a man can molest young boys, yet we can't imagine that someone may make it up for their own personal gain.
 
If a newspaper runs the story: "Coach being investigated for possibly being a child molester"

The public sees: "Coach being investigated for possibly being a child molester"

The public will always jump to the worst possible conclusion.
