accused of being a rape apologist because I was insistent on the presumption of innocence

Good thing to insist on, but be prudent. Keep in mind that, at least on reddit, there's a tendency for every thread about rape to become a thread about false accusations. I wasn't there, but in general, sometimes people object not to the presumption of innocence but to people bringing it up.
