I am deeply troubled that we have normalised public executions on the basis of allegations. No person or group should have that power to effectively end someone’s career on accusations alone.
An “allegation” does not mean a groundless accusation. Any claim, even a very obvious and serious one, would be referred to in media as “allegation” until the accused is convicted.
The conviction does not always happen even in clear-cut cases, as the matter might not end up in court for various reasons unrelated to the truth of the claim.
The fact that measures were taken by the employer (some measures appear to be directly detrimental to the company, such as firing someone in charge of most of their products) shows that the allegations are likely firmly based in reality.
[0] “…a definition of workplace harassment that was updated in 2015 to remove the example of a manager sexually harassing a reporting employee”
And the term you decide to describe all of this is "allegation" and "public executions". Interesting choice of words.
I mean, if you had enough informations to prove that what Libèration and Bloomberg wrote is unsubstantiated, that would be quite a revelation. In France, that would also carry heavy legal implications. So, I think a lot of people would like to hear more about that. Especially those fired right now from Ubi.
Otherwise, in the off chance that you can't exactly prove that such journalistic investigations are false...just tell me, honestly, what are you arguing about?
19% of women report sexual violence to police. (1)
10% of those reports result in a conviction. (2)
So actually I was being conservative, it's actually
98%+ get away with it based on these two sources.
And we haven't even got to child sexual assault conviction rates.

Your first stats are 15 year old and are only applicable to Canada. You can't make broad generalizations like that. Different countries have different culture and very different legal systems.
I'm not sure who you were replying with as the cited data was not from Canada and was not 15 years old.
If you have a more nuanced reply with better data sources please do so.
