List of americans accused of sexual misconduct

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Such a list is problematic from many different angles. First of all, it is not referenced, which is a particular problem when listing living people in combination with a potential crime. Secondly, the inclusion criteria "famous" is too ambiguous. Thirdly, in legal terms we have the presumption of innocence. If someone is just accused and later cleared, his personality rights should be preserved. Just being accused effectively means nothing. Fourth, legal definitions change. In the past, any form of homosexuality was sexual misconduct, it is not any more. Would we include anyone accused of something in the past that no longer is considered such? pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 09:51, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
