You can’t assume that. This article doesn’t say. It’s possible that there’s no evidence other than this one man’s word. Look at the Cardinal Pell case in Australia. Pell was convicted based on the absurd, extraordinarily unlikely testimony on one accuser... yet a jury bought it... and so did 2 out 3 judges on the initial appeal.
The story has a Kavenaugh “rape train” feel to it.
Wow. I mean, I know there was a case here in the UK of a guy who was going around accusing politicians and public figures from the 1970s of all kinds of deranged paedophilianc deviancy towards him. Turns out it was nonsense, and he was jailed for perverting the course of justice for an unprecendented 18 years (aggravated by the fact he was a paedophile himself who had made indecent images of children).
Still, at least his victims were never charged, never mind convicted before he was found out. Although one of Thatcher’s cabinet minsters Lord Brittan, died whilst still under investigation and never lived to see his name cleared. WWII veteran and former head of the army Lord Brammel did live to see his name cleared, but it must have been distressing at his age having to contend with that.
