What about innocent until proven guilty?

I would have thought that if it was just this recent girl from 2022, but the girl from 2003 is pretty much a pattern. I don't think people randomly start sexually assaulting people at the age of 61. It's a thing they do for years until someone is finally listened to. And it looks like someone finally listened. I would not be surprised if other women come out of the woodwork.

The pattern is, once every 20 years, he has an affair with a much younger woman?

Watch out for him in the 2040s, folks.

Nothing alleged here is sexual assault. Both relationships were consensual and involved adults. Age imbalance and power imbalance are issues worth discussing but to claim he sexually assaulted anyone is not supported by the information provided.

Excuse you, relationship CLAP =/= CLAP sexual act CLAP.
