I don’t understand what is happening here. Until a person is found guilty IN A BEIS DIN AL PI EIDIM there is NO HETTER whatsoever to publicize his name and to presume that he is guilty, irrespective as to how many Goyshe courts have convicted him. Because of the publicity there might be a situation of “Lachshosh mibo’i” = to be on your guard in your dealings with him i.e. don’t go into a situation of yichud with him. Perhaps YWN should have given a warning to that effect some time ago But now that is not noge’a anymore and I fail to see how the CR can discuss it at all. It is also not relevant whether or not a Beis Din should have been involved; it’s too late for that.
Perhaps YWN should publish a daily Din in Hilchos Loshon Hora. It would be great if they could somehow organize that that halocho should be compulsory reading before being able to read any news or enter CR.
