Comment on How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees?

Similarly, “not guilty” does not necessarily mean “guilty, but we couldn’t prove 100%”. So, a lack of conviction is not evidence that they did commit a crime, as you’re implying. This is especially relevant to rape cases.

Not sure how you got that out of my comment which was in reply to someone talking about people being found innocent rather than not guilty.

  You’re stating that “not guilty” doesn’t mean “innocent.” I’m adding that “not guilty” doesn’t always mean “guilty but got away with it.” Which part confused you?

    Guess I’m confused where I said anything remotely like that.

Why is this “especially relevant to rape cases”?
