I can't believe this is still the top comment. If Jacob Applebaum is a rapist, then that is horrible and of course he should step down. But this comment links to 3 tweets that are all duplicates of each other.

Is there any reason to think that Jacob Applebaum is actually a rapist? I would really like to see some proof of that, before jumping to any conclusions.

Public rape accusations today from a female Tor core dev and her girlfriend aren't relevant to Applebaum's sudden departure?

EDIT: Tor doesn't confirm or deny the allegations drove the departure. https://twitter.com/JackSmithIV/status/738857839402311681

If the truth isn't known, Tor could be shooting itself in the foot if they 'decided' that it's one way or another. Makes sense that they would say that.

They've now confirmed. https://blog.torproject.org/blog/statement
