This type of article that is full of sexual allegations is hard to review. On one hand, it's clear that there was a lot of investigative work and tracking down of sources, but on the other hand it is very one-sided and based wholly on the testimonies of alleged victims and friends of the alleged victims. I do believe that stories like the ones the women are sharing should be told, but I also struggle with the idea of publishing allegations without any real evidence of a crime. I understand that sexual assault is a very difficult crime to prove, but I still think this article could have done more to clarify that these are alleged crimes without any hard evidence and that under U.S. law, citizens are innocent until proven guilty. I expect we'll be hearing more about this situation as time goes on.
