Rolling Stones is the bastion of retractions once anyone with a brain goes wait a second. Remember the gang rape college story that almost shut down a fraternity until someone bothered asking the accused?
I was just talking to someone about this the other day. That "worst part" is definitely the intention.
I have a friend who works for a branch of children and youth services, and people are constantly calling in bullshit petty calls on their neighbors just to try to get them in trouble for something.
Example: "their fucking dog keeps barking... I'm gonna call cys and say their kids don't have fuckin shoes."
Or worse, you get, you get a jilted spouse, hot about the estrangement, calling in to say mommy's new boyfriend is diddling the kids, couching the children to spread egregious lies.
Its smaller scale instances of the same bullshit. Because they know that in public perception, that person isn't going to be "the guy who was wrongfully accused of child abuse," they're going to be "the guy who got away with diddling kids."
You are absolutely right on this one. Irreparable reputational damages that there are absolutely zero consequences for.
