I disagree. It hurts his legacy - and that cannot be undone now. Even if they somehow prove that he is innocent and these women are liars, it's somehow given people justification to claim he was sleazy or a pervert and that there must be some truth to these allegations. On the other hand, if they are telling the truth, then it leaves the BBC's reputation in tatters for continuing to employ such a man and letting him have the career he had, and the victims can't get any kind of legal closure because he's dead.
