Paragons of Virtue Arrested

It's time to name and shame the self-proclaimed paragons of virtue. Keep it civil, though.
Stories are about those who have been placed in positions of trust, and then abused that trust.
Feel free to add stories of the self-righteous from other walks of life.
New rule: With regard to stories of particularly, but not only, female teachers sexually assaulting students. Any comments similar to "where were they when I was in school" will earn you the right to find another forum.

It's due to libel laws. Publications don't want to get sued for alleging something before conviction. They'd be out of business if they called it rape.
It's easy enough to call it "alleged rape", like they do for alleged male rapists.
I get we never want to make light of those who have been victims of rape but I do understand not wanting to touch it. It has an extreme pubic connotation and all it takes is one mistake "alleged" or not and the accused has a case for damages to reputation
I'm not saying it's how it should be but until our laws change it's the only option
That doesn’t work when the word doesn’t mean from a female to a male unfortunately though.
That is simply not true. Anyone of any gender can rape anyone else of any gender.
Depending on the location it changes.
