The greatest sin?

I was shocked and deeply disappointed to read Janis Siegel’s article (“Arrest made on inappropriate behavior charges,” May 30).
There is no greater sin than the public humiliation of a fellow Jew.
What possible purpose does this article have other than destroying this young man’s reputation and well being, before any court has declared guilt or innocence?
At a time of ever rising anti-Semitism on every American university campus, at a time of divestment and delegitimization onslaught on Israel, at a time like this you choose to be hurtful to a fellow Jew.
Shame on you for doing this!
