Paul Zeise: Pirates' Kang should remain unpunished unless charged

Jung Ho Kang is being investigated for an alleged sexual assault in Chicago. But he has not yet been charged with a crime.

And as long as he hasn’t been charged with a crime, he shouldn’t be suspended, put on the reserve list or be treated any differently by the Pirates than he was last week or the week before.

There is a huge difference between being investigated for a crime and being charged with a crime. If, after a thorough investigation, it is determined that there is enough evidence to charge Kang with a crime, then, and only then, the game changes.
