This is why I do not like accusations in the media.

It sets up a precedence of the public acting on accusation

rather than belief in innocence before guilty and using the law courts to obtain justice.

and abuse is serious, very serious, that's why we need to treat accusations and victims seriously and with thought

but there are still people who think Johnny Depp abused Amber Heard, even after she was found guilty of defamation.
