You see your bias here?
He is innocent until he is proven guilty, so let's start from there.
No charges have been filed and it seems unlikely there will be any, so... he's innocent.
This whole "but if this person did x y z" stuff if a massive waste of time, because it doesn't deal in reality, just what if's.
Nobody is innocent until proven guilty. They're guilty if they're guilty whether it's proven or not. At this point I don't know if he's guilty of anything. That is why I say the if's. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. That is not the same as having 100% faith in his innocence. I don't know one way or the other. There is definitely cause for suspicion. If I were on a jury right now with the information I have I would find him not guilty. I would not find him innocent and that is not how court cases are judged. People are either guilty or not guilty.
The United States justice system is built on the foundation “innocent until proven guilty”
