Accurate.

Give us one example of someone wrongly punished who was denied due process.

It's progress. Heretofore those who are subject to sexual abuse have been forced to accept countless injustices. Now accused abusers are subject to the occasional injustice.

For an example of worse-than-rough-justice, consider the monumental backlog of unprocessed rape kits in this country.
