Sexual Assault

With Sanders no longer in the running, Biden is the Democratic candidate facing Trump. News of his sexual assault allegation so far are not being reported on by most news sources. This of course leads to the question: how should sexual assault cases be handled?


It seems rather obvious to me. The Constitution states that no person shall be “deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law”. Unless these allegations have merit in the form of concrete evidence, how can they result in any indictment? With the rise of the #metoo movement throughout the world, men have become the victims of millions of accusations. Those that have proof should obviously be recognized, but those without can be seen as slander. Publicizing Biden's accusations without any evidence would just be harming his reputation. We cannot allow the government to infringe on our Constitutional rights.
