Innocent until proven guilt works both ways.
If someone publicly accusing another person of a crime, the accuser is innocent of slander and libel unless you 100% prove that they are being malicious.
It is completely within your right to show evidence to the world and someone should not ever get in trouble with the law if everything that they have presented is true.
The only way you can convict someone of slander is if you prove that they were lying. Good luck doing that, because you almost certainly won't succeed.
