GP is talking about an actual system - if 99% of people have positive views of someone and then 1 person accuses them it's much less credible than if 20 people accused them. Obviously there are inherent problems, but maybe better than what we have now.

We've had that, except by word of mouth for most of humanity's history. I think that it's one of the ways we got here, unfortunately.

As a perfect current example of just that in practice, see: Woody Allen.

Child molestation is another can of worm, see the Outreau trial.

Note : I am NOT saying that it is also the case for Dylan Farrow. Just that sadly the world is not all black and white and for this kind of crime it is very hard to find the truth.
