I know people are innocent until proven guilty but it does seem rather bizarre also that he's had literally 0 media scrutiny / never been asked about (to my knowledge) the fact his own sister claims he abused her for years when they were young.
People are innocent until proven guilty in the legal system, where we have is a strict process for assigning a binary guilt outcome.
In real life I use all available evidence for scoring outcome likelihoods. I score this guy high on sleazebag, and this article just increased this score.
If you use the "innocent til proven guilty" principle in your day to day interactions you're bound to get fucked by every 2nd person. Well, maybe not that bad but you will still get fucked because you don't have the same resources as a court does to figure out if someone's fucking with you or not.
You just don't have access to tax funded investigators working for months to figure out if the other person tells the truth or not.
So it's down to: Something's off? I'm not trusting you. Especially when you want something from me.
