Jack gets convicted of rape. Goes to apply as a cook in a high school.

Both agree to get a background check. Once the school sees that Jack has been convicted of rape, they will not hire him. Once the school sees Rudy has been accused of rape, they will not hire him.
This can go with anything. Once the police have something on your record, its there whether you got convicted or not.
The only reason Zim didnt get convicted cause he got a deal or something.
Your right, mud sticks and when an accusation is made, proved or not, people who dont know the accused personally always have that doubt in their minds.

In this time of social media an official record can be cleaned but the knowledge of the accusation remains in the public domain and is easily found.
A story only last year in the UK showed how employers were looking potential employees up online and one person in particular made the news as an example when he didnt get a job purely because he had boasted about taking drugs online, I think he had posted comments about taking ecstasy on a night out.
Be honest, if your were an employer, found that 3 applicants for a job that were equal in all other ways but did online searches and saw
1) Had nothing online of interest
2) Had admitted online to using recreational drugs
3) Had been accused of a serious crime like assault or rape, had been requited, but we all know some guilty go free due to lack of evidence
Which would you employ ???
