You have it all wrong on the notion of “evidence” in these situations.
1. You notify the authorities of suspician.
2. The situation is investigated .
3. IF there is concrete evidence, the person is charged.
4. The person is then tried and, if guilty, found innocent.
In this case the authorities were notified, they did not investigate significantly nor did they press charges.
BTW..this is also a problem for girls that are molested, ie Planned Parentood, teachers, etc.
I don’t have it wrong. Mere “suspicion” could be anything. Do you have any idea how many false rumors are deliberately started about people? Do you realize that suspicion could result from someone just thinking that so and so isn’t “quite right”?
Let’s put it this way, “methinks you protesteth too much”. Consequently, I suspect you are a child abuser. Now all I have to do is find your identity and contact the police with my suspicion so that they can interrogate you.
What could be wrong with that scenario? It’s for the children, after all.
