It's just that a legal "not guilty" outcome of a trial is not proof of innocence or even close to it and never has been, it is proof that the crime was not PROVEN and nothing more, which is correct legally because of the risk of innocent people going to prison but it in no way dictates what personal opinion should be. With conviction rates for all varieties of sexual assault being ABYSMALLY low - you surely understand that?
A TINY proportion of sexual abuse and sexual assault cases even make it to court, and then a tiny proportion of those that do result in conviction. It's well known that the vast majority of rapists walk free through lack of evidence. It doesn't mean anything.
I can't possibly believe that you're naive enough to think that the legal system usually or even particularly often "gets it right" when it comes to sex crimes.

I take it you did not watch the videos TS,as you would have heard that there was not ONE scrap of evidence against him ,why would you believe otherwise,this is after the FBI,child services and the police investigated him and also proven evidence of people lying about what they had seen,none existant photographs,surely if people can spare 4 hours to condemn him sure 1 hour of video to give the other side of the coin is worth a watch
