    The key word is “alleged.” People’s social media accounts are full of social justice slogans but they’ll let the court of public opinion and social media decide if a man is guilty of a heinous crime. The point is we know NOTHING about his legal woes nor do we know why he isn’t traveling and everyone is freaking out. If he’s guilty, I hope he’s thrown in prison. But, as someone whose actually worked in the criminal justice system, I also understand that the general public knows absolutely nothing about any case even when it’s settled, much less in process. And yes, I know you’re going to respond with, “but so few sexual assault cases go to court, much less end in a conviction.” Very true, but that’s a societal and systemic problem, not a Thomas Partey problem. You improve the system, you don’t ignore it because you’ve decided one man is guilty based on some leaked texts that you have no idea of the veracity of.
