Yes, and if I recall, it came out because he was using campaign funds
to pay her off which is illegal adding to the negative aspects of
the situation.

Yes, multiple cases are usually closer to proof it was going on.
When there's a huge amount of money available to pay people off
though I guess there's still no guarantees. If the only thing
going on are possible criminal charges I think you could more
trust what the complainants are saying.

It's unfortunnate but the few women who lie about sexual assault
just make it harder for those with a legitimate complaint to
be believed.. Just being accused can ruin a man's life too, even
if he 'proves' in court he was falsely accused, a lot of people
will just think he got away with it so it's not just women getting
a raw deal at times.
