Agree.
I hope very much that the authorities are properly balancing the need to handle complaints sensitively and seriously with the need to weed out false and even malicious claims before arresting people. I can see a great many well known people being drawn into this, any of who may be entirely innonent yet have their lives and careers blighted by association and those who insist there's no smoke without fire.
