Thanks for pointing out a caveat I hadn't considered. I'm sure this is the first of many.

At the moment, all I see right now are all these victims coming out of the woodwork decades after a crime was committed and it's usually at the peak of the alleged perpetrator's career.

Not that I'm particularly sympathetic to a career being ruined if the accused is guilty.

But, I am sympathetic to them now having their day in court. Court is where you get to tell your side of the story. Court is where the defendants have the opportunity to be cross-examend and held accountable under penalty of law if they lie under oath.

It's much harder to get the truth, I feel, when every news outlet is eager to publish the next salacious development in an ongoing scandal.

It's easier when the accused are given due process.
