I certainly do not believe in false accusations, and would throw the book at anyone who made them..there is a grey area of not really knowing, suspicion but not proof etc. But where there is certainty I am not for protecting anyone's reputation. I am not for preventing scandal for a church or a football team or a birdwatching society. There should be scandal. It acts as a preventative for future cases, it allows society to express outrage and where they stand, it allows other victims to speak up in safety, it allows people who have the curse of pedophilia to seek treatment rather than commit these crimes, it makes everyone more watchful and able to believe victims..it has to go hand in hand with doing all you can to prevent false accusations and setting up environments where abuse is less possible, such as never being alone with a child in most circumstances...the family of the abuser is going to be humiliated and confused if they knew her as an otherwise decent person, but that is part of the price we pay for being in a family or society...I fall on the side of exposure to sunlight, painful as it is. A bit more sunlight in Cleveland might have helped those poor young women...
