I think you are absolutely correct.  I want the victims of sexual violence to be supported and perpetrators punished severely.  But I really want to adhere to the rule of law and not fall into a mob mentality.  Those are pretty trite statements, but I've learned that I just cannot get enough verifiable information through the media to sort out the truth of any given situation.

Actually, that last aspect of my comment about the conflicting data in the media applies to most issues in the news these days.
