Some of these "sex scandals" are frankly quite frightening, not the rapes/pedo stuff, those people most definitely deserve their day in court, but the ones that sort of fall into the creepy/awkward/fetish zone. Some of the cases where you can tell there is a misinterpreted signal or where there is clearly the option to walk away in my mind don't warrant public shaming. I just think about all the guys who have really awkward uncomfortable moments in life where they think someone else may like them and finally work up the courage to make a move (like say grabbing a girl you think likes you's butt) but are thus rejected and embarrassed after, I feel like digging up a moment like that to ruin someone's career 30 years later and label them with a sexual assault is terrifying.
