Perfectly. That's why I didn't type the word ACCUSED. That's why I said
criminal, as in already convicted? I quite understand, thank you. 

I'm finding it rather interesting that of the people responding to
PhoneyNT's original question about what makes rape so bad (and subsequent
thread drift), the females/female-online-personas seem to be rather strongly
in favor of nasty punishments for rapists, while those coming out against
those nasty punishments (stating that they are excessive/cruel-and-unusual
punishment/against the US Bill of Rights) while still saying rape is wrong
are male/male-online-personas...

Just an observation...
