I have no idea what they have to gain, although a fair few of them have sold their stories for cash, which always weakens credibility, I think. If so many people were involved, and so many people knew, doesn't it strike you as strange considering the volume of them who are finding their voice now, that none of them came forward during his lifetime? I understand the difficulty when they were children, but some of these women are now in their fifties, and at no time did any of them feel strong enough to speak out? This isn't the first case of someone being accused after they're dead, it just happens to suit the public feeling because Jimmy Saville was creepy and an oddbod which is not against the law.
