This only holds up when "I saw it on social media" is your authority.

Someone accuses someone of underage rape/ sex, then that accuser is by default 100% correct - even if there is no evidence.

Complete bullshit. There is always a trial and when there is genuinely "no evidence", victims are dissuaded from continuing.

Even if this is occurred several years back, it is a bigger problem these days

According to... some guy on the internet.

If you have proof of widespread false accusations, why are you being so vague? You could be busting hundreds of innocent men out of jail and you wouldn't have to keep reusing the same story from years ago.

complete bullshit.

The court of public opinion is a powerful thing, and there, you will always be assumed guilty. Even if acquitted in court, and even if the accuser admitted it was a lie, a lot of the time the only thing people will see when googling you (such as prospective employers as one example) will see the news of the accusation, and then stop looking further.

And this thread is the answer is it? Weird that when you google that guys name -- which isn't actually included in the post -- literally everything you find is about his innocence.
