It was to be fully expected that the odd person would pop out of the woodwork to besmirch the character of Bencase.

The alleged wrongdoings of Bencase are not relevant (he could be Adolf Hitler for all I care), and those who seek to divert the subject towards Bencase’s behaviour are clearly trying to shy away from the real issue.

Yes, Bencase might have been a perv or a creep, or whatever. I don’t really know; I’ve only witnessed him typing “any women wearing stockings?” into the room – hardly crime of the century by JC standards!

The real issue is whether it is justified or decent, in any circumstances, to round on one individual (who appears to be not of sound mind) so viciously and callously, and to coerce/encourage that individual into taking their own life.
