That’s kind of how it works, yeah. You can see in another comment of mine that I personally think he actually committed all those crimes. But until he is found guilty by a court of law, he only allegedly commited any crimes. If you call someone a rapist or whatever without referring to a valid court ruling, you are yourself guilty of libel or slander. You might not like that, but this also protects you. So just learn to live with it.

He allegedly, as he never stood trial, raped and assaulted a lot of women.

I wonder if you insist on the same language outside of mass rapists.
