Here now is my ethical question: If you are told about a crime through back-channel discourse and it could be a falsehood, what do you do?

I agree. And is also is where any corrective action will grind to a halt, unfortunately. Until the next victim.
Any specific actions you've found to be effective in mitigating such risk? @meyerweb
That's the difficult call. Bad info at that point might lead to innocents unfairly being denied otherwise equal opportunity.

Verification of the back-channel seems daunting. Multiple complaints I could justify. But 1? Or even several? People take sides. :/

That's a pretty interesting viewpoint. A little edgy there but I guess necessary under such circumstances. I find it all very sad.

Surely we all have our bad times. My own situation with drinking and depression - I wouldn't have hired me then. But now I would.
Do you think that there's a need for tracking this sort of thing? Such as sharing the information with other event managers?
From a corporate risk management POV would this be the guideline: Decline anyone accused of risky behavior involving others?
This has been really helpful. Thank you for the perspective :)

I have struggled with this question more than once. No easy answers nor clear paths.

It's a terrible weight. No easy answers indeed.
