Allegedly. If a bunch of people come forward accusing you of assault, odds are pretty good you did it.

However, private businesses punishing people for having charges brought against them but not yet tried? That's judge, jury and executioner, which is incompatible with the set of laws that the US is built on - for which the source material was English Law, and precedent even older than that.

So an American company pre-punishing a Brit based on a news article is the beginning of another level of dystopia none of us wants.
