That seems to assume that
* The judicial system is the only system capable of determining facts.
* Our adversarial-driven judicial system is an effective way of determining facts.
Neither of those are true. The ability of any group of independent experts to collect information/evidence, analyze it, and come to a conclusion about a reasoned set of facts and inferences is something I am comfortable assuming. This happens all the time, and I can't help but think that the context here (i.e., a man harassing a women) has some influence on this point of view.
What TOR produced and published is in my eyes perfectly appropriate and reasonable. Bad conduct not always does, nor should it, necessitate a judicial investigation. Especially when that investigation is carried out by the state who have a significant tension with the TOR project. Not to mention that the victims have asked for that not to happen.
