Again, maybe if you told me a reason instead of just saying a name like everything he says or does is wrong, I'd consider your opinion. Only siths deal in absolutes.

I read the wiki article about the case and thought that being charged with a crime means you are guilty, which I misunderstood. We can therefore not yet conclusively say that he is indeed a rapist, even though many women have come forward with their story.

There was a CEO that increased the salary of his employees and got many women pressing charges for rape against him. It's pretty much the same. People with deep pockets paying women to press charges for defamation.

The person is Dan Price, former CEO of Gravity Payments. In 2015 he gained national attention by slashing his personal salary and raising his employees’ minimum pay to US $70,000. (Spokesman-Review) Later he was accused by multiple women of sexual assault, including a 2021 allegation of rape of an unconscious person and other claims of unwanted physical contact.
