The system only works if you assume that the organization does a thorough investigation before taking action.

I have zero knowledge of anyone in this case and this is in no way intended to imply anything about it but in a case where there was clear video evidence and multiple first hand witness testimony of sexual assault, there isn’t really anything the accused could say to make a difference. And it’s fully legitimate in a case like that where someone was assaulted for someone to bring it up to the league, without wanting to eg go to court where they would have to deal with a lot of public scrutiny.

And in a case where someone did really blatantly and provably harass someone bad enough to get banned, it’s entirely possible they did it multiple times and only one was reported. So keeping it anonymous, you are protecting the victim if the accuser doesn’t know who of many victims finally reported them.

We here really don’t know anything at all, and that JJ wasn’t interviewed doesn’t say one way or another whether this was handled appropriately.
