I think that’s problem though. In general I believe sexual assault allegations and I (still) do believe Ghomeshi acted criminally toward the women.

This describes many commenters here on Jezebel. It ignores any interest in finding the actual truth and is a bananas way of going…

You’re forgetting the other all too important aspect of a modern and just society: we innocent until proven guilty.
