You may have no choice in these situations...the mans innocence has no bearing at this point. He can remain and fight the community who he thinks sees him as an offender...or just move elsewhere.

I honestly don’t see why you’re having such a problem with the idea of moving, both inwardly and outwardly. People do it all the time..and the perverts certainly do!

Seems to me you’re putting to much emphasis on what other people think. It’s a done deal...the guy needs to move on.

The internet is not relevant. Life outside it is.

I said put yourself in the same position -- you've been falsely accused of child molestation based on pure verbal accusations, no proof.

Even after your innocent is proven beyond doubt, you will be suspected

it's not just "about what people think" but also the fact that they will then deny you job opportunities, friendship, even help knowing that you were once accused. your reputation and your life is over

put yourself in the innocent accused shoes -- would you still say it's ok to consider you guilty until proven innocent?

here's another example -- > Witness describes alleged sexual abuse by Muncie evangelical pastor

A prosecutor on Tuesday described Matthew A. Kidd as a manipulative predator who abused the trust that came with his status as pastor of a Muncie church to sexually assault three teenagers who belonged to his congregation.

Kidd's defense attorney, however, maintained that his client is the victim of a conspiracy with money at its root

the pastor is innocent until proven guilty, but the trial by jury has already taken place and his name, his reputation, his calling are mud already. if proven innocent, he can't "get up and move somewhere else" as that stigma will remain.
