I too have written my fair share of press releases and wasn't as offended by the shade as most people here are. I do think they explained their process well and communicated what their process is/was. But they're in a place where they're ###### if they do, and ###### if they don't.
There is no way for me to know whether the allegations are true or not true. But in the court of public opinion and in the legal system the advantage clearly goes to the victim. And while nothing should ever condone the alleged actions, does it not scare anyone else that anyone with a grudge can make allegations against an organization and essentially destroy it, regardless of if the allegations are true?
Protecting victims should be the number one priority, absolutely. But what do we do when the allegations are false or are made out of a vendetta. (Note: I'm not claiming this is the case here, just thinking out loud)
