Shouldn't people be innocent until proven guilty and not the other way around?
How can you convict an innocent man based on a typo in the username? Don't you need more evidence that to convict someone? Like an IP address, a face, maybe compare the dick to the picture that was sent or at least have some solid evidence.
That too, yes.
