There was a time, not that long ago, that if someone’s reputation were damaged by some accusation(s), later fidcovered to be false, the person would be able to return to their normal life – maybe not immediately, but after a short period once the truth became known. Today? Not so. much. Even in the “olden days” I’m referring to (maybe 20 years ago), there would have always been detravtors of that person that no matter what, believed the allegation(s). There have always been those people that no matter the evidence presented, will not change their mind. But that was okay, because those same people really had no way of continuing their persecution. How times have changed.
