An accusation with even a tiny bit of evidence supporting it can rightly be the basis of a conclusion of fact when the standard (as is generally the case in civil court) is preponderance of the evidence, and no evidence is presented on the other side.

has not been demonstrated yet. Only the accusation. Furthermore, there's been no judgement.

No kidding. However, the present issues with a request for a preliminary injunction I require the court weighing, based on the information provided by the parties, a number of factors, including likelihood of success on the merits. As the "preliminary" part of the name hints, that's not a final assessment of the evidence, however deliberately wotholding exculpatory evidence now has adverse consequences.
