From a legal standpoint I would suggest it's best to be "sure", and prepared to defend the "claim" in court.
Since a challenge would be civil it would be on the balance of probabilities, i.e. you don't necessarily have to be 100% sure but the closer-the better. So if we're talking about Trump, for example, I think the label "rapist" could be defended successfully (depending on the makeup of the jury)...

@DigitalTaoist@ieji.de or you could fuck off. outside the courtroom we don't need a court verdict to call someone a murderer, and similarly we don't need that to call someone a rapist. we also don't need an ornithologist certificate to talk about sparrows or robins. words exist outside the narrow legal or, generally, specialized context.
