Look, I think Trump probably did rape minors. I think he was probably involved in trafficking. But this isn't really evidence. It's hearsay, at best. It's an anonymous complaint filed via an open FBI telephone tipline in 2016. From what I've seen, all manner of wild stuff gets reported to those tip lines. There's absolutely no way of knowing if there's any truth to this other than the fact that we all have a gut feeling - and have seen lots of circumstantial evidence - that Trump was involved in this kind of stuff. It doesn't do any good to go around acting like it's proof of anything, though.
