Thread Name: Matthew Kelly is arrested as a paedophile
Subject: RE: Matthew Kelly is arrested as a paedophile
Ali I agree with you but what if the child/victim is proved to be lieing? Does not the accused then become the victim? What about justice for them?

It would appear to be the case that once accused of such a crime then the assumption of guilt is automatic and the person is immediately sentenced by society. How does a person explain why they havn't worked for a couple of years while the case was being investigated?

Once it goes to court its in the public domain and regardless of outcome people will assume guilt....its a sad reflection on a supposedly just society.

The title of this thread is, in it's self a sentence on Matthew Kelly in that it states that he was arrested as a paedohille - he has been labeled and that is that, shit sticks!
