So, if he's innocent, he shouldn't come out and say that the person falsely and publicly accusing him of being part of a horrible child rape cabal is a total liar? He should just sit back and let that person's allegations stand unchallenged in every major news outlet?

You almost sound proud to be "that guy". If you believe he did it, that's fine, but if you believe he did it because of the way he looks, then you are one of the bad people.
