The onus is on the prosecution to prove that someone is guilty, it is not the job of the defence to prove someone is innocent. This though, is another trial by tabloid. We have them a lot in the UK.... and unfortunately the person accused is dead and we will never know for sure whether he was guilty or innocent.

but most of them are doing it anonymously Livia, so how can you say that women making these claims anonymously are doing for attention or jumping on a bandwagon?

you are making it an impossible situation, by saying that anyone who does make the claims is just doing for attewntion, and anyone who makes the claims anonymously are not credible. don't you see how you're creating a damned if you do damned if you don't scenario?
