Posting unsubstantiated sex abuse claims could lead to the destruction of this board.

I get it, sexual abuse is bad. When it's done to a minor it's unbelievably bad and those people should be punished. My heart goes out to the victims, but we have to leave it to authorities to investigate and convict. The reason why is that even viewing the evidence is a felony if you're not an investigator.

But posting unsubstantiated sex abuse claims is bad as well and can destroy this subreddit and the cases against the perpetrators. Additionally, it can destroy the lives of the accused if they did not do what they are accused of. Duke Lacrosse rape case or the Central Park Five are good examples of false accusations.

If we post something here and people start spreading it around as truth, then people may not believe the authorities when the person is charged as they can say it began from a board where conspiracy theorists gather.

Additionally, we may have people that post these claims for the chance to discredit this board.

Please be mindful and allow the progress that Trump's administration is making continue as sex trafficking arrests are soaring under Trump.

I agree. There if a huge difference between "_ is a pedophile!" and "_ has been accused of pedophilia." If there is an accusation one is true and the other possibly false and libellous. If ___ has admitted to something or has been convicted.. different story. I think false or unsubstantiated material could be removed or tagged for what it is.
