Stop trying to bring gender into it. This isn't about believing a man or believing a women. This is about the presumption of innocense and the need for a preponderence of evidence rather then just an accusation

Again, it's a job appointment not a criminal trial. I'd be interested to hear what your standard of evidence would be if it's not three witnesses.
Why should a person suffer any consequences because of an unfunded accusation? Do you even realize what kind of slippery slope that is?! People have lost jobs, careers because of accusations that have been proven to be false!
Ah, yes, but what about the ol' "lock her up"?
