Without evidence, there’s nothing. It would mean, you, me and anyone else can be charged for “sexual predatory behavior” and prisoned for years. While we did not do anything at all.
Not-guilty until proven is a thing.
Also do you realize what this does to someone who’s not guilty? Wrecked career, wrecked mental health and reputation to the ground.
There's a lot of room between a court not having enough evidence to convict someone of a crime and that person having done zero wrongdoing, and society in general does a very bad job at navigating that grey space.
Being cleared of charges doesn't mean someone isn't a bad person. At the same time, simply being accused doesn't mean that someone is a bad person. There's worlds of nuance here, but this is the internet - the place where nuance goes to die - so I don't bother having any expectations at this point.
