These two people were both accused of sexual assaults, right? I had a quick Google and couldn't find a source I felt confident in posting here, but that seems to be the theme in the results.

These things can be super complicated. Getting accusers to testify is a big battle in itself, and evidence is nutoriosly difficult to get for cases of sexual assault (particularly if it's not recent).

It's a very good question, though. It can feel so unjust when someone gets accused of sexual assault by so many people but seems to have no accountability for it. I guess it's a tricky balance of needing a legal process with evidence and principles, but also wanting to give survivors the justice they deserve.

What do you think on this, @ellie2000? Interested in what others reckon too.
