Sadly, when it comes to cases like this, that's often the case.

In times past, legitimate complaints of harrassment/DV/etc. frequently went ignored, leading to even worse consequences for the victims of such crimes. So recently, there has been a strong movement to ensure that "victims are heard" and that these complaints/accusations are "taken seriously". In itself, that is a worthwhile, laudable goal - when these incidents do happen, they should be prosecuted and not just 'swept under the rug'.

The problem is that in working toward that goal, we've gone too far in the opposite direction. Now, we seem to always presume the victim is automatically telling the 100% truth and that their version of events is exactly what happened - before any investigation even takes place. This has the unintended consequence of leaving the accused individual trying to do what is logically impossible - prove that something did not happen.

Add to that, the fact that it's Green Bay Packers All-Pro RB Josh Jacobs - which means that the DA will want to find something to charge him with, just to avoid the appearance of sweeping it all under the rug 'because it's Green Bay Packers All-Pro RB Josh Jacobs'.

It's really like anything else - when something is very, very wrong, the response is often an over-correction... Eventually the pendulum will swing back somewhat and we'll have a more fair system. But for now... we don't.
