13483138, the accusations alone are toxic in this climate.

people use terms like 'credibly accused' that essentially equate to guilt based on how believable the accusation is.

and then you have the 'if theres smoke...' effect where multiple accusations just make it seem like the person has to be guilty of *something*.

he could be completely cleared of this. but those other people supposedly coming forward and giving different accounts of his other alleged abuses is gonna be hard to get over in the court of public opinion. regardless of if they can actually be proven or not.
