I've been thinking a lot of the same stuff. The way people feel it's okay to talk about the women involved ranges from disappointing to disgusting. One of the tragedies here is that it's almost certain that the *manner* in which the accusations are being pursued is entirely politically motivated (an Interpol red alert and being held without bail for this level of accusation is pretty much unheard of), thus meaning basically *both* a) rapists can get away with whatever unless they make powerful enemies and b) whistleblowers can have their lives ruined on trumped-up charges.
Whether or not he's guilty (not being omniscient, kind of hard to say), the whole way the process is going down means bad things either way.
