This is the problem with speculation by the media and netizens. Those who are innocent are forced to counter the accusations and no one believes them. We need to wait for investigations to actually implicate them before dragging people through the mud. Once there is evidence against them then they are fair game but people need to remember that innocent until proven guilty is still the rule of law. We should not attempt a witch hunt against everyone the guilty parties have ever known. This is unfair to the innocent parties who are being carelessly mentioned as possibly guilty. Their reputations are being damaged for no reason.
