Here's my take on the situation....
-After a single accusation raised media stink, all of a sudden a whole bunch wanted their 15min in the media
-Lucy DeCoutere waited for over a decade to give us her tale of woe.. Since the alleged incident happened, she still went out on 2 more dates with the guy
-This makes me suspect many of the accounts that cropped up in the media.
-Now, let's assume that they are all correct, or that some of them are telling the truth and he did it.. It's their MORAL RESPONSIBILITY to report him to the authorities in order to prevent the victimization of other women.
-Even in the mid-90's when I became sexually a active, hormonal teenager, I was extra paranoid about sex assault allegations to the point of immediately ending the entire date at the first sign of verbal or gesticulative resistance to my sexual advances (ok, I'll take you home now). At the time, sex assault/harassment allegations were being taken so seriously that many innocent men ended up being victimized by the system. There's no way they could claim that their accusations would not have been taken seriously.
-Therefore, we either have a whole bunch of liars coming out of the woodwork or a bunch of people who severely failed in the moral responsibility department and allowed for a violent criminal to victimize other people
