I really, really wish this kind of Silicon-Valley-drama news would stay off HN.

'Silicon-Valley-drama news' I think you probably want to rethink that statement. Rape is not a "drama" to the victims

I'll wait for a court to decide if a crime was committed. If it was, that's terrible and I feel for the victim. But, it's not the job of you or I to condemn people from the comments section, especially when there's little beyond accusations and denouncements.

"I'll wait for a court to decide if a crime was committed"

Regardless of the court outcome, an issue like this shouldn't be treated as 'Silicon-Valley-drama news'. Speculation? yes. Accusation? Yes. Drama? Seems inappropriate here, especially since we don't know what happened
