If the Tor management wants to fire him, that's up to them. For any reason, or no reason at all. It's their decision. On the other hand, "rape" is a delicate matter, and all of this shouldn't have been discussed in public.

>I believe them. You should, too.

I don't believe them for two reasons:

1) There is no actual proof. I don't believe things for which there's no proof.

2) It's possible multiple people didn't like him and therefore between themselves they decided to accuse him of rape to get rid of him.

Direct eyewitness/victim testimony is proof, actually.

You can doubt the credibility of that, if you like, but that's up to you; to say there is no proof is a falsehood.

It is interesting that you pay more heed to the notion of a character assassination conspiracy involving multiple credible parties than the simpler explanation that perhaps this well-known liar is also a well-known rapist.

Have you heard of Occam's Razor?
