This reminds me of the Jihan Gomeshi situation with the C.B.C. Whereby people were caught up in the public persona of the accused, rather than the behaviour of the individual. I think it's challenging for people to separate the two. The fame and accomplishments of the accused should not enter into the equation at all. It's just another example of the abuse of power that can happen when institutions are invested in the public persona of the accused individual, to the point that they will overlook abusive behaviour.
