... or the person confessed to having commited the crime.
While "innocent until proven guilty" is the popular phrase, it doesn't mean much these days. You cannot both believe an accuser and consider the accused "innocent". The applicable phrase when it comes to allegations of sexual misconduct, abuse, or harrassment (especially of a woman by a man, or of a child by a man) is simply "guilty!" There is no such thing as innocent in such matters, because once a complaint is publicized, the question mark hangs over the person forever, even if deemed "not guilty" in a court of law.
There is a flaw in a legal system which supposedly presumes innocence, but rules an accused as "not guilty" rather than "innocent". They aren't the same thing. Many police officers are trained to presume guilt and treat an accused or suspected person as certainly guilty until proven otherwise (which still never means "innocent").
Thankfully, we have a Judge who knows the truth in all matters, and who judges with true justice.
