If a bunch of people who once had close, perhaps even loving relationships with you all come forward and risk their own reputation to say you're bad enough to warrant criminal action, I'd say it's on you to prove them wrong.

Or maybe it's all a grand conspiracy, in which case let's follow the money and see that it leads... nowhere.

There doesn’t need to be a grand conspiracy to want to smear someone. Additionally, what happened to innocent until PROVEN guilty? Allegations are not proof.

I’m glad I don’t live in a country where the burden of proof is on me to prove I’m not guilty. That must be awful.

Yeah, you're right! If enough people say you did something you should have to prove you didn't do that thing. Everyone knows it's much easier to prove something didn't happen, then to prove something did. Show me the evidence you didn't do the thing!
