"Alleged victim" [View all]

I'm down with "innocent until proven guilty", but once a trial has been held and a guilty verdict returned, you should stop using the word "alleged". They aren't allegations, they are legal findings of fact.

A teacher convicted of raping a 14 year old. Released on probation. I wonder if this judge will be forced to retire like this guy, who at least had the decency of sentencing the rapist in his court to 30 days?
