What "crimes" do we find it easiest to assume that anyone acccused is guilty of?

Asked by 6rant6 (13700points) February 3rd, 2012

It’s political season. So there are the constant reports of so-and-so accepting money from such-and-such. It’s awfully easy to believe that there is some sort of quid pro quo given or at least expected.

Or take the case of a college professor accused of sleeping with a student. It’s awfully easy to assume it’s true and even to imagine it’s part of a pattern of behavior.

What kinds of “crime” [in quotes because these acts are not necessarily illegal] do you find yourself assuming have happened as soon as you hear an accusation?
