Yes, I can get on board with this.
Legally speaking, its innocent until proven guilty (though the burden of proof does not lie 100% on the accuser in all situations and all states), but it's still important to take any claim of violence seriously when we're discussing issues like rape in open forums, and trying to decide where our personal allegiances lie.
