You have to admit that's incredibly suspicious and irrational.

Based on both the psychology of victims and the poor prosecution rates for rape, not really. Especially given the person they're accusing is a beloved celebrity. I mean, no one's suggesting the Jimmy Saville victims who came forward after that broke are lying - at least they're not *now*.

da, but I think there's a difference when the person being accused is just an average Joe versus a celebrity. As sad as it is, there ARE people who make up false accusations of things against celebrities for attention, money, what have you, so it's understandable why some people might be more suspicious in that case as compared to when the person being accused isn't famous.

After decades, and after some of them had withdrawn prior claims?

If someone did that for ANY other crime you'd have to agree it was suspicious. ANY other.

Yeah because people don't get half the shit for accusations of non-sexual crimes.

Even so, if you're going to withdraw a claim, why place it in the first place? Once you file an accusation, you need to stick with it. Anyone should be able to tell how it impacts their credibility to withdraw a claim, especially en masse.

It's not really about personal credibility though? And there are definitely legal and social reasons one would withdraw a claim? Pressure being one of them, another (more practical and concrete) being that you realize the legal fees are going to outweigh anything you might legally gain from pursuing it, especially years after it happened, and/or the social costs that unfortunately exist for pursuing that claim.

Why on Earth would dozens of women band together and make false claims against someone only to give up partway through? Doesn't that seem like way more of a stretch to you? It does to me.
