There is absolutely NO sane and fair-minded individual that would believe these accusations based on the shoddy and inflammatory reporting of this case. There appears to be only suspicion, nothing tangible to even consider as truth. This whole situation is disgusting. My heart goes out to this man — I hope the truth will prevail.

Don’t you think that plastering someone all over the internet based on allegations is irresponsible and potentially harmful to someone who very well could be and is very likely innocent? Can you imagine the harm you and other forms of the press have had on this man’s life? Teenage CHILDREN can be very malicious. Many of them don’t appreciate the consequences of their own actions. However, they are all fully aware from a young age that they can bring anyone in the education system to their knees by simply the threat of making an accusation of sexual misconduct. Some students start a rumor and that’s all it takes today to destroy a man’s life. This seems to be synonymous to the witch hunts that were responsible for burning innocent people alive. How are we any different in this case?
