We certainly know that. Are you protecting him? What about children? The courts will decide his fate. Looks like he is guilty though, because why is he being charge with this kind of crime if he is sooooooooooooo innocent?

yes the media should report. The courts will prove is they are innocent or guilty. The news media have the right to bring criminal reports. Otherwise, what would we do without news media. We would not half of anything without their reports. Thanks news media and continue to do your jobs with no concern to those who don't want themselves or whatever known. Bring it to us as you always do.
