Opinion | Here’s ‘what about’ Roy Moore that is different

I think, of all criticism of these accusations, this is the weakest one. Is it possible for victims to remain quiet for decades? Absolutely. Rapes were rarely reported prior to modern forensic science because it was near impossible to prove. No victim wants to come forward and go through the character assassination, the shame, the judgement, especially if they won't be believed. Time and technology hasn't changed our society much.

SSG Jessica Bautista - that is a possibility since it seems like the Harvey Weinstein article that came out of 2 weeks ago has set off at chain reaction of all is pent up frustration you may have a point but it still makes me wonder I know we've had other cases in the recent path where people came out of the woodwork for saying that Bill Cosby drug them and they were on the cover of some magazine a few years ago woman going back 40 years so we had opportunities for woman to come forward yes I know sexual harassment and response is not done well in the US military and in the Canadian military because they still retain the commanders discretion instead of having an independent body I know it is not an easy thing to discuss and simplify maybe a good thing that is coming out now you have men coming forward saying Kevin Spacey molested them in the past, you had alter boys or Catholic men who said that priest molested them over a long time and the revelation came out 10-15 20 years later it. You also have General officers who come up for their next star and women come out saying that they were forced to sleep with this General officer years before and he gets demoted from two-star to Colonel. Yes, it is a mess. Thank you for reminding us.
