Not disgusting. Not even an uncommon opinion, here or elsewhere. Not everyone in the world tells the truth, and people have a right to not be convicted without evidence. What is disgusting is the way that this has been handled elsewhere and here. I am of that weird ilk that considers that people should have facts and not mob mentality drive their actions, but I do relaise how very unusual that is on social media and MN.
And I did not in any way blame the alleged victim, any more than I vindicated the alleged perpetrator of something that may or may not be a crime. The parents went to the gutter press, leaving their adult child exposed to even worse outing - so yes, I have some doubts about where their interests lie, but at no time have I victim blamed, sought to defend anyone, nor have I indulged in this stupid and loathsome guessing game of "spot the person to hang"
If you think that an employer, any employer, should go immediately to the police to report an alleged crime for which no evidence of a crime has been provided, then you have been unconscious all your life. You'd be fine if I contacted your employer, said you pulled off the an armed heist, provided no evidence and the employer went straight to the police and stuck your name on the front page of the local rag as a criminal????
Mob mentality does not make good decision making. People here have gone insane yet again.
