The problem is that it doesn't take a legal conclusion to ruin someone's life. If enough people form a bad opinion of you, even if those opinions are based off incorrect evidence, then your life is ruined, regardless of what the legal conclusions say.

There's an idea that someone would never accuse another of sexual misconduct because there is nothing to gain. Victims are unfortunately still stigmatized. At the same time, there are those who would lie about sexual misconduct for various reasons including attention, revenge and notoriety. The chance of this happening to a public figure increases exponentially.

It is totally fair to form an opinion, I just hope that people weigh all the evidence first. In many cases, I see people forming verdicts as soon as someone is accused. The other problem is that the details of these cases are often largely obscured for the public, other than what they are willing to publicly state (and often lawyers discourage this).
