This is confusing. Maybe OP has a point that we should just be forthright about whats going on so people can make informed decisions.

My initial reaction is that you shouldn’t be sticking your neck out for people you only know in a professional sense.

My second reaction is that as a community if you receive reports of sexual assault and do not act on them in some way you are sending a message that your community is not a safe space for people who have been sexually assaulted.

And I’m still hung up on how you are able to ostracize the accused and not the accuser? Is the accusation coming from outside the community?
