There has been one allegation, just one. He gave his side. I personally would like to hear the other side and find out if what he said maybe had merit. Was there a misunderstanding? Did he trivialize an encounter? I just would like more facts since every guy accused seems to be automatically accused. Guess innocent unroll proven guilty doesn’t apply. Let’s try them in public, ruin their life first then we will work out the proof in a trial.
