It's progress. Heretofore those who are subject to sexual abuse have been forced to accept countless injustices. Now accused abusers are subject to the occasional injustice.

For an example of worse-than-rough-justice, consider the monumental backlog of unprocessed rape kits in this country.

It's progress in the way euthanasia cures cancer.

Things probably have to get worse before they get better. People have been able to ignore the issue for too long. Now the suffering is spreading a tiny bit and those who would rather not confront the agony of others are being forced to.
