My criticism was meant to be valid irrespective of the actual accusations quality. The concern would still stand for the accusation of more serious crimes like rape, murder, genocide, etc.

Being inspired to skip the trial and personally decide to put somebody in the pillory is an understandable, but deeply flawed motivation.

The author can, of course, make every accusation. The publication however should not make the crime appear to be a secured fact. Breaching the journalistic objectivity might be a current trend but is intellectually dishonest and no service to the cause.

This looks more like vigilantism than a serious conversation.
