He wasn't terminated because of the allegations. He brought video tapes of his sexcapades to his bosses because he knew the allegations were gonna come out. The videos he showed them depict him partaking in BDSM sex acts but clearly show that they were consensual.

When the CBC people watched the videos...they decided to terminate him. Which complicates the matter....because the actual reason they terminated him DOES seem questionable. Though it's looking like the right decision...even if it was made with a faulty criteria.

And aside from their reasons for terminating him....this reminds me of the Bill Cosby post here last week. The fact is....the victims are NOT seeking public attention. Compare that with the allegations against MJ where people are seeking money and media access to 'tell their story'. When you have multiple people...with similar stories...who are NOT seeking media attention and are, in fact, reluctant to talk about it....the likelihood of the accusations being legitimate seems more probable.
