Actually this would only apply if their victims were 15/16 anything underneath was always clearly unacceptable, even though various artists married younger kids in public like jerry lee lewis.

I think it's more to do with the fact that the victims are mature enough now to feel safe and comfortable admitting it, while younger more recent victims are still very traumatized by it.

It is common for victims to not admit the abuse til many years later if ever.

i don't think it is. If it was common to just lie then wouldn't there be thousands of women claiming it? every woman within a 50 miles radius could claim it if they wanted to, so there would be a lot more if women just wanted to lie for money.

you make it sound like claiming to be abused is winning the lottery. edit
