Why the teaser?? What did Ms. Rashad say????

She has now come forward to explain that she was misquoted.

She gave an interview to ABC news earlier this evening.

If this guy is guilty, his behavior was disgusting and criminal, although it's unlikely that anyone can make criminal charges stick after the passage of so much time. However, it kills me that so many are ready to rush to judgment. He has defenders who say he was not that kind of guy, as well as accusers who say he was. I don't know the truth. Only the principals know the truth -- and it's doubtful any of them can prove a case.

Numbers. The sheer number of women who have come forward to relate what happened to them, knowing that the statute of limitations have passed, knowing that the cases will never go to court. They stand to gain nothing. Some are people in the public eye who might risk people thinking less of them if they come forward. No reason to make it up, no gain. The minor publicity of having 5 minutes in the press is not a positive in any way.

I can't believe there was a poster on the other thread that said none of these allegations were credible. Wow.

They were young women who thought they would get a step up in the industry. They knew what they were doing going to a married man's motel room. Forty years later they jumped on the bandwagon claiming rape. I don't think any of them were drugged & raped.

And I think you're just posting that to stir the pot. Not biting, sorry.

There are no guarantees, but I believe there is a case still under investigation (Chloe Goins). She is just 24 years old. She alleges that the incident took place 6 years ago. So, she is within the statute of limitations.

I believe the accusers. I was almost molested as a child by an uncle. Who would make this stuff up????

I don't even know where to start but I'm going to give it a shot. Not a single assault was reported as occurring in a motel room, some of his VICTIMS were married themselves and were not extremely young (chronologically) during their attacks. Some of the allegations only go back less than 10 years and while you chose not to believe the doping allegations, this would account for the 'missing time' many have shared.
