> isnt it weird how these women filed a complaint together 20 years later

No. Not in the slightest.

From work I once did, essentially IT support for a Royal Commission inquiry into sexual abuse and assault, it's extremely common for all manner of sexual assault victims to remain silent for many years.

Regardless of the wealth of the alleged perpetrator(s).

Eg: ~ 50 years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Cable#Sexual_abuse_claim...

also, say, Rolf Harris, Sir James Wilson Vincent Savile, and numerous other rock spiders.

Ahhh I see you quoted, and responded to only the FIRST half of the sentence I wrote, totally ignoring what I was implying, and answering a question I didn't ask !

edit: comparing Jimmy Seville, and this 17 year old kid who touched his cousins tits during a consensual massage 20 years ago is a reach

Read more carefully, note well: " Regardless of the wealth of the alleged perpetrator(s)."

> comparing Jimmy Seville, and this 17 year old kid who touched his cousins tits during a consensual massage 20 years ago is a reach

No, they had a reach around.

Moreover, I didn't compare them, I merely noted that large time gaps are common place. Again, please read carefully.

reading very carefully, and you are literally comparing him to those cases. This is the definition of a comparison (at least until you edit your comments again)

In any case I dont give a shit about this mormon weirdo, whether he did it or not, and I have already wasted too much of my precious life thinking about this

Again, it is commonplace for both men and women to not publicly report sexual assault in their teen and preteen years for decades.

Regardless of the wealth of the alleged perpetrator(s).

I wish you success, because im thinking about suing you in 20 years for the emotional damage endured from making me read all these comments

You should do the world a favor and kill yourself

I feel like you're missing the point, and the answer to your question:

> isnt it weird how these women filed a complaint together 20 years later, after he became a billionaire?

No. Multiple people are now informing you that this is not weird. I'm assuming good faith that this was a genuine question, and you now have your answer to it: "No."

poisonarena 2 hours ago | parent [-]

on the contrary, both of you missed my original point, which is that i doubt it happened the way they say it did, because I think they want a taste of the hundreds of millions of dollars he has.

> both of you missed my original point,

Nope.

No one missed you implying it was solely about the money.

Again, a vast number of sexual assaults are either never reported or not reported for many many years.

Regardless of the money.

You are free to doubt whatever you want regarding the rich convicted criminal and liar we're discussing, just like any of the other 8 billion random individuals on the planet can doubt whatever, but the point you missed is that the answer to your question and original point:

> isnt it weird how these women filed a complaint together 20 years later, after he became a billionaire?

Is "No." Thank you for asking your good-faith question, you now have heard the correct answer from multiple people and are more educated on the serious matter of sexual assault. Hopefully your previous incorrect assumption of "Yes" did not cloud your judgement on the matter.

P.S.: if you ever find yourself saying something along the lines of "both of you missed my original point", chances are the communication problem (and the point-missing) lies with you, rather than everyone else participating in the thread.
