A sentencing hearing broke down this week for a self-employed handyman from Texas who used a metal whip and unloaded a can of bear spray on officers during the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riots.
Everybody has the right of innocent until proven guilty, but surely scary for any of his clients. Hope none of them have kids in the house.
the presumptions of innocence until proven guilty only applies to criminal law. It does not apply to protecting your kids in your own home. You’re perfectly fine to say “no you are a pedophile and I’m not hiring you.” It’s also perfectly okay to drop reviews on such sites saying “This man solicited sex from my child.”
Unless he actually did solicit sex from your child, it’s absolutely not “perfectly okay” to post that. It would be a pretty open and shut case of libel.

To clarify , the context is about a guy who is indicted and going to trial for that.
