~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~

While I generally agree with the fundamental idea behind your statement that you should generally let the justice system do its job, you've still got to put your statement into context. Said context is that a very tiny fraction of depositions of sexual nature even reaches actual charges, and even fewer actually end up in convictions. The justice system is, objectively speaking, utterly failing at protecting people against these crimes.
Justice system is not here to protect, it is to punish the crime.
Internet works into the same way. Just lower burden of proof.
