I doubt this guy talked about assault with moderators on his forum. They're probably leaving because they don't want to moderate on a forum possibly run by an assaulter. Where did you read there were witnesses btw?
tbh it's hard not to assume you're assuming a default defensive stance due to a "lack of evidence" because a man has been publicly accused of unwelcome sexual advances / exposure. And that's because it's a man that by most accounts I have seen prior to this is not a particularly great person. Can I ask what your personal motivations are being apparently aggrieved that a random internet overlord has been accused but not proven of wrong doing, i.e. trial by Internet?
And have you considered that the exact same thing is probably happening to the woman involved in a far more egregious manner?
There are already hints of "unfairness" in what has happened to the guy's big forum lordship judging by your tone, I just find that unusual, just like how pretty much any man accused of sexual assault is protected by this idea of lack of evidence, and that nothing is to believed without forensic evidence or something, because generally, women are not to be listened to. It's really hard not to read that into your posts in at least a contrarian manner and I see that elsewhere and personally it makes me a bit uncomfortable. I mean seriously, posting revenge porn? Is it that hard to believe the same person might act like this "irl"?
Maybe you're just indulging skepticism which I can relate to as I do that a lot, I'm asking because I find it hard myself not to be disgusted by these kinds of accusations, especially by people with a high profile and in a position of social/media responsibility.
The accusations were made privately on Facebook by the way but then screenshoted and then disseminated that way through the usual channels, forums, image sharing etc.
