This happened at my high school. After the “wrong guy” won the senior talent show, a number of girls all accused him of all sorts of sexual misconduct and tried to railroad him. They tried to get the school to take his title away and give it to someone else. Luckily these weren’t the smartest girls and the guy had at least one alibi for when he was competing in a varsity sporting event. Literally video footage of him being somewhere else when he was supposedly at a party with this girl and rufied her.
Luckily the school board, administrators, and local pd had the discernment to collect more information before destroying the kid’s academic and athletic career. He was suspended right away so an investigation could be done, but he was back at school within a week and didn’t even have to miss a game. The investigation continued after that, but there was significant evidence that suggested that he was innocent. The final nail in the coffin was when the girl’s phone records were investigated, and not only were there no (unsolicited, not that it mattered b/c they were all minors) sexting between this guy and any of the girls in question but they found a group message between the girls who accused him planning the whole thing.
Unfortunately the news wouldn’t hear any of it and kept trying to pour gas on the situation. They kept harassing the kid and his family. They also tried to run a smear campaign against the school board for not having him expelled immediately. The school board could have perhaps been more transparent, but they were trying to protect all the kids involved. Their statement was that the situation was under investigation and that all school and legal policies were being followed. Once the kid was basically found to be innocent, they didn’t give much information other than to say that he was innocent. They didn’t want the girls to to be ruined by the media, nor did they want the media to get behind these girls and fund some massive legal battle despite there being concrete evidence of this kid’s innocence.

It was an absolute cluster.
