Actually, going public was not an issue (for me anyway) --- for one, there was no speculation about what was going on; no one was in the dark about the exact allegation. In the football world rumours and speculation are even more pernicious IMHO
It is the player(s) that made the allegations who need sanctioning and have to apologise. I wont complain if my employer looked after my interests in such manner.
It's quite hard to tell when it occured. Some of these guys tend to come in 100mph, confrontational to start an argument/seek attention, and the whole basis for their argument tends to be accusing you of some exaggerated nonsense which you've never said. If they could keep it reasonable and not so aggressive then there might be a decent discussion to be had. Otherwise I might as well stay in my cave and yawn.
