If you Google a job applicant's name and find several articles reporting that they have been accused of rape (with just a little note at the end that the charges have been dismissed), are you really going to give them a fair chance? I don't think anyone would look at them in an unbiased way, even if they tried to.
Why does it need to be a little note at the end. Change the title to so and so cleared of charges of rape if its so and yes I would give them a fair chance.
What is the alternative? I do not know anything about the particular case and make no claims about it but suppose the charges were dropped for political reasons or because the victim was intimidated? Shall we in such scenarios silence them entirely in order to protect a criminal?

If he is innocent it should be sufficient to anmend the article so it shows the truth.
