If society (where this happened) decided that the alleged bad behaviour
warrants accountability, then the complainant can identify her forum and
start that process.
If there's a civil claim then both sides would have the discovery process.
If an administrative tribunal complaint, the tribunal might have some process
to ensure fairness too. If criminal then the he's alone against the state
and to balance that he wouldn't have to say anything at all.
But right now it's an accusation outside of any defined processes. Yet there
might still be consequences. If he responds, is it possible that his
response could fuel more comments about this on the Internet?
