Paragons of Virtue Arrested

It's time to name and shame the self-proclaimed paragons of virtue. Keep it civil, though.
Stories are about those who have been placed in positions of trust, and then abused that trust.
Feel free to add stories of the self-righteous from other walks of life.
New rule: With regard to stories of particularly, but not only, female teachers sexually assaulting students. Any comments similar to "where were they when I was in school" will earn you the right to find another forum.

It's due to libel laws. Publications don't want to get sued for alleging something before conviction. They'd be out of business if they called it rape.
It's easy enough to call it "alleged rape", like they do for alleged male rapists.
I get we never want to make light of those who have been victims of rape but I do understand not wanting to touch it. It has an extreme pubic connotation and all it takes is one mistake "alleged" or not and the accused has a case for damages to reputation
I'm not saying it's how it should be but until our laws change it's the only option
That doesn’t work when the word doesn’t mean from a female to a male unfortunately though.
That is simply not true. Anyone of any gender can rape anyone else of any gender.
I definitely would’ve slept with her when I was 13 if she gave me the chance…which is exactly why it is and should be illegal. 13 year old kids aren’t developed enough to recognize a lot of bad ideas. A 27 year old teacher should be.
Exactly! It doesn't matter if a child "enjoys" the sexual contact, because that can be weaponized and their future can be stolen. It's unfortunately normalized for children in certain social spaces (especially celebrities) to date far upwards; we need better common knowledge about the danger of age gaps and the cycle of abuse it perpetuates.
He was later found with self-inflicted injuries, taken to a hospital and then admitted to a mental health facility...
I hope she rots in prison for the rest of her life.
Meh, I hope her cell mates are not fond of child rapists
These things are not mutually exclusive.
Fair
Rape. It's rape. Call it rape. Guys can be raped. That's what happened.
From what I've heard it's not legally advisable in most countries for media to lable things as rape prior to the perpetrator being convicted of rape. Also I think the law commonly defines rape as forceful penetration, at least in the US. So it's not necessarily the writer's/publisher's fault when the headlines don't call it what it is.
