Please tell me i’m not the only one who still finds this ridiculous and believes that only a court of law can determine guilt?

Platner could release his side of the Instagram messages.
He could release his side of the text messages from the night in question as well for that matter.
According to his side, the damning messages don’t exist. Yes, he dated her, so he would have had some messages from her, but that isn’t in dispute. But if what he says is true, those messages won’t exist.
How would you feel if someone falsely accused you of a crime, claimed you have non-existant evidence that damns you, and then demanded you produce this nonexistent evidence?
Again, I am not accusing the accuser of lying. I am not however willing to join a witch hunt that crucifies a man based on suspiciously timed accusations. But if Platner is telling the truth, that is the situation you are placing him in. You are demanding he produce damning evidence, evidence that he’s claiming never existed.
The evidence is not non-existent.
His ex-girlfriend has just come forward about his habit of stealthing (taking condoms off during sex). His campaign is done.
That was the same ex-girlfriend who supported Kavanaugh and is literally a Republican political organizer. And she also waited to make this accusation at the most opportune time.
We have cases of politicians being falsely accused of sexual assault, where they were conclusively proven innocent. It does happen. Politics is an area extremely vulnerable to it. If you time it right, the accusations don’t need to be good enough to hold up in court.
