That's the point - just because the other party is anonymous doesn't mean they deserve less empathy. Of course, we're biased to the more vivid human character, but it's just a bias. Let's try and correct it with reason.
"Of course, we're biased to the more vivid human character"
Not really, we're biased to the alleged victim (aka the accuser). Granted, not as much as if it was female but still.

Why, because they haven't taken to a blog to talk of the emotional turmoil they are suffering through (allegedly) as the result of these actions?
If empathy is a car fueled by how vocal you are in expressing yourself, well... that's not so good.
I can't side with either party right now (due to the lack of facts), but I certainly feel more for Keith than I do the other, anonymous party.
