Rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment is wrong, immoral, and evil. False accusations about rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment or any immoral act or crime are equally, wrong, immoral, and evil. Both can ruin lives and careers. In today’s hypercharged media and political environment, false accusations are assassinations especially when the accused is in a position of power. The political party, wealth, position, race, or ethnicity of either the perpetrator or victim does not matter. It does not matter who, male, female, or any LGBT, commits the act; the act is wrong. It does not matter the gender or gender preference of the victim, the act is wrong.
Unfortunately, in the current cultural and political environment, another wrong is now considered right. When the victim of rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment is not a male and the perpetrator is male, the accused male is guilty until proven innocent. This is contrary to the Constitution and the Rule of Law in the United States. This is especially true when the accused is a Republican candidate or office holder who can be removed or eliminated from contention for office; the trial is conducted in all news platforms; and the media conviction will advance the progressive narrative. This is assassination through false accusations; and it is wrong, immoral, and evil. Allowing this type of political assassination is a danger to the future of our republic.
Finally, when a male is accused of rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment and considered guilty until proven innocent and not afforded due process by any institution with power, influence, and authority over the future on the accused, that system is not Constitutional and contrary the rule of law. This was the situation at most colleges and universities in the nation where the accused were not allowed to confront their accusers. The Duke Lacrosse case and the University of Virginia fraternity case printed in Rolling Stone demonstrate how innocent lives were seriously harmed in the short run or ruined by false accusations. Admittedly, men in positions of power have used their power to avoid prosecution through intimidation and bribery. This is demonstrated by news of this issue during the past month or more. Two wrongs do not make a right. The question is, Can this nation allow the media to use its power to promote sexual assassinations by mere unlitigated false accusations?
