   Yes, and if I recall, it came out because he was using campaign funds   
   to pay her off which is illegal adding to the negative aspects of   
   the situation.   
      
   RM>> BTW The case came to court more than 6 years after the incident..   
      
   RM>> That's another problem that can affect believability..

   Yes, multiple cases are usually closer to proof it was going on.   
   When there's a huge amount of money available to pay people off   
   though I guess there's still no guarantees. If the only thing   
   going on are possible criminal charges I think you could more   
   trust what the complainants are saying.   
      
   It's unfortunnate but the few women who lie about sexual assault   
   just make it harder for those with a legitimate complaint to   
   be believed.. Just being accused can ruin a man's life too, even   
   if he 'proves' in court he was falsely accused, a lot of people   
   will just think he got away with it so it's not just women getting   
   a raw deal at times.
