The right approach is somewhere between the two. Innocent until proven guilty but with care taken not to invalidate the suffering of victims. I think there should be anonymity for those accused until they are at least charged, as due to the evidential difficulties with sex offences an accusation generally carries a presumption of some guilt. Hollywood has always had massive selective blind spots with things like this. People were happy to turn a blind eye to Harvey Weinstein's offences if it was in their interest, and Roman Polanski was revered even though he can't set foot in America due to drugging and anally raping a 13 year old.
