MM22,
No the reason people are opposed to him is not because he is simply trying to “out” abusive behaviour.
It is because of what he does (accuse people with no proof of anything) and use foul lanquage to embarrass an entire community in a public manner.
Syog Lchochma
B”h it seems you are extremly innocent, however please look up the “pre-scool exual abuse scandals” of the 1980’s.
To state, basically, because his “victims” (who btw claimed to be a young teenager, not a child of 5 or 6, when the actions took place) he must be guiloty shows a pretty high level of ignorance.
As for why I chose to believe he is innocent.
Last I checked the Torah says “Dan L’Kaf Zchus.
If a single person shows up in BEis Din to accuse someone of something and can not produce any evidence to show they are actually making a valid claim such as “Kula d’lo posuk” that person recieves malkus for being Motzi Shem Rah.
I have been told of no evidence what so ever that this girl is doiing anything but setting about to destroy some ones life in an act of revenge and an attempt to get rich.
And I admit, the court case and all those on her side have further covinced me since in article after article, post after post I have read people twisting every which way to “prove” his guilt but no one can produce a stitch of evidence.
If so many people trying to find anything on him could find absolutley nothing thats a pretty good indicator to me of his innocence.
Now as Health has written,should any real evidence be presented against him I would of course have to rethink my position. However I don’t see any of that.
And BTW I am fully cognizant of the fact that there is real abuse cases out there.
IMO it is real abuse victims that suffer the most here.
There is a theory that the reason the “abuse” claim became so discredited for decades in the non-jewish world is becuase of what happened over the abuse scandals when the accusation was believed no matter what, a standard of proof was not required, a witch hunt atmosphere developed, and people went to jail even though they were innocent.
Those people were eventually proven innocent and the “abuse” claim was discredited.
That is what is scary.
How many people now will no longer even listen when someone screams abuse precisley because of this trial?
