Antony is an example. I believe two of the charges have been dropped, and the third is potentially looking like it should be. Yet he's still treated as a violent rapist by fans.

Did you read the article? It clearly shows that when players don't face consequences for reports of abuse this is what happens. They can bully or coerce victims to retract, run PR campaigns against accusers etc.

Also there is no suggestion that the first charge that came out against Antony is about to be scuppered.
