Like Davis, you and others are missing the point. Ferguson has not laid charges and may never, so talking about 'his day in court' is irrelevant. Except the media trial, there's NO legal process under way against Jordaan for anything, unlike Zuma. Anyway, how many people accused of anything - not even counting an accusation so old without any evidence except the accuser's testimony - will voluntarily fess up? But he's presumed guilty. 
You say you're not motivated by outrage but your comment is loaded with it - 'rampant sickness', 'obfuscate' - as is this article. We may have a reason to be outraged about rape, etc but I don't agree this article is 'satire' and 'ironic'. Satire is a skill and Davis is too politically correct, and takes herself too seriously, to do satire well, or at all. Look at the language she uses - this was an attack on Jordaan because he didn't plead guilty to 'judge' R Davis and others. I think she's more upset about that than the allegations.
