Right, I was responding to the "just one person" aspect, not the "guilty or innocent."
Maybe there was no rape, but if there was, I have a hard time believing that the guy isn't an ongoing problem, and moreso, that a group of guys who elected him are living up to the highest standards of their fraternity.
Interestingly, I think this is one of the reasons that so many people are afraid of "he-said, she-said." They are afraid they could be the target of an out-of-the-blue accusation which would cause them serious damage.
In every case with which I have experience (which is a frighteningly large number for a single person), the accused had a pattern of behavior that would suggest they did not respect boundaries, would make people uncomfortable, etc. I don't have any good citations to back this up, but my general perception is that these are rarely isolated incidents.
