Aaah, sweet summer child …
Difficult as it may be to believe - even in this, the post-Savile Age of Epstein - that rich, famous, powerful men will exploit, use and abuse women (and young men, and children) for shits and giggles, and then just lie, intimidate or pay their way out of it, it is quite literally the way of the world and always has been.
And for every person who chooses to believe the victims and the evidence (as disclosed in the settlement process in this case), there’ll be 100 more baying for the blood of the ‘liars’ who are apparently just trying to knock down these national treasures for cash and notoriety.
How many more sporting heroes, international political figures, cosy TV names, renowned businessmen and whoever the fuck else need to be wheeled out in shame before you believe that almost none of these men are above this kind of behaviour? And that a sickeningly enormous percentage of ordinary ‘nice’ men would do the same - and worse - if they had the clout and bank balance to get away with it.
