Why isn't there something synonymous with a grand jury convening privately to determine if the case has enough merit to go forward? This seems like a step in the right direction to protect reputations.

Otherwise, it is reminiscent of the false accusations about political candidates in the 1940s/1950s making wildly false accusations, which forced their opponents to spend time and money to defend the claims. It still happens today as well although it seems easier to defend claims via social media and the 24hr news cycle having to keep up with all sorts of stories that draw people's attention.
