Why would anyone at Tor Project care what "someone unconnected with this may reasonably assume"? Impune rapists are not their responsibility; your complaints would be better addressed to police and prosecutors. If, against all odds, Appelbaum isn't actually an actual rapist, he is certainly still an asshole, and there's nothing wrong with giving assholes the boot.

I have no idea why they would care what someone unconnected would think. But the way this has been publicised sure makes it seem like they care, so here we are discussing it.

What do you mean "against all odds"? Unless you're connected with this personally, all you have to go on is their internal investigation, which did not mention rape. So apparently no one is even claiming that anymore.

Again, they can either turn this over to the police, or I'm going to assume it's all made up and I'm not going to care. Not that my opinion is worth any more than yours, which is to say it doesn't matter at all.
