I am in total agreement that is sucks either way and it is very unfair which is why it should be kept not publicized at least until charged are filed.
I did want to make the point that no matter how much of a douchey jerk Kane may seem to be as a person off the ice, he deserves to be considered innocent until proven guilty like any other person. A person doesn't get that when you publicize rape allegations.
And lastly for the "We will NEVER know what happened" crowd.... no we won't know, but the man was not even charged with a crime based on the evidence and witnesses. Under our legal system he is innocent of rape, he did not rape anyone in the eyes of the law. If you want to stand up and say you think he is a rapist or he might be a rapist because of the allegations this girl made. Once again think about how you would feel, if you were accused of rape, cleared of it and not charged, but people still said "Well we will NEVER know what happened". That amounts to "They didn't charge you, but I still think you could be a rapist". How would you feel having that attitude leveled at you?
