Since he can't be charged now, that principle would mean we'd all have to pretend forever that he was innocent, no matter how much evidence came out about him.

Since he wrote in 1997 that the age of consent should be lowered to 15 (that 16 was too high) AND at least two women have said they were sexually assaulted by Dershowitz at Epstein's house when they were underage, I'm not able to view him as an innocent.
