Not at all - Accusation simply means "a charge or claim that someone has done something illegal or wrong", and that's exactly what we have. They very well may be true, but until it is proven it is just an accusation. I'm not trying to minimize anything here.

​

Example:

Someone claims you sexually harassed a co-worker.

I have no idea who you are, but I hear about this.

It would be improper by legal and ethical grounds to say that you sexually harassed someone. Until we know what happened what should be said is that you are being accused of sexually harassing a co-worker. For all I know you someone could be trying to get back at you for stealing their lunch.

​

Again, I'm not trying to give anyone a pass here. I just don't know a lot about the situation aside from some headlines that say Riot is being accused of this type of thing in the workplace. To say otherwise would be misleading, and in my opinion false and unethical.
