Innocent until proven guilty bud.

That means the government shouldn't just start throwing everyone in jail at the first accusation. That doesn't mean the public can't or shouldn't act on the information.

Members of the public may refuse to do business with a person, or socially ostracize them, based on whatever information they have available.
