Plenty of people jump on the bandwagon with claims against celebrities though lostalex, I don't know what it's like in the USA but this is a phenomenon in the UK - so many people come out of the woodwork that it's hard to tell who's telling the truth and who's just telling lies to make a quick buck from the tabloid newspapers. You don't have to be desperately in need of cash to sell a story - quite the opposite really - it's about greed. I'm not saying any of these women are lying, but it is a thing that happens a lot in this country.

I suppose it's a positive thing that an investigation has been launched, but I really don't see what this will achieve. They can't do any tests to check for rape; they can't interview the suspect in question; the only thing they can do is chase up decades old leads and try to come to a conclusion. It's a shame for anyone who was indeed a victim of him, if he did do anything wrong, but that's all that can happen now.
