Timeliness is important. As a matter of fact, mosaic law (on which English and then American common law is based) states that if a rape is claimed, the woman must scream for help, her clothes must be torn, it must be clear that she has fought the best she can. Further, the claim must be made immediately. If these two tests are not met, then it is assumed that the act was concensual — if it happened at all.

The whole thing is nonsense. It is too bad that when she made this claim in her book years ago, instead of just publicly denying it, he should have sued her for defamation.

The lesson here for any man (or woman as the case may be) is to bring legal action immediately if someone claims to have been intimate. On the other hand, if you have been assaulted, go to the ER immediately, and have a rape kit done.

I went to college in the NYC media region in the early '90s and while he wasn't necessarily on TV everwhere all the time, he was ALWAYS on TV in NYC. They followed him everyhere, he was like the 90s version of a Kardassian in the '90s in NYC. Some loved him, some hated him, either waty he got eyeballs to watch so they put him on TV all the time. The idea that he went into a store alone and burst into a ladies changing room without anyone noticing is utterly absurd. It's like saying Barrack Obama walked into a crowded shopping mall in Washington in 2017 and made his way to a store in the back where he groped someone and then walked out, all with nobody noticing he was there.

Insane.
