Hm, his statement in response to the Guardian is very unusual for someone accused of sexual misconduct. Either he feels very safe that he can hide this, or he really didnt do it and somehow is the target of a campaign.

Edit: The Guardian article literally has names and photos of the women who accuse him. That's enough to convince me that they indeed were violated by him.

It would be really odd for there to be some shadowy targeted campaign against him considering he's mostly irrelevant as a celebrity these days. Why would anyone go through the trouble and what could possibly be gained? He's probably got some money but he's not Oprah rich.

"Got some money"? He owns a bunch of islands in the Bahamas, with prices for 1 week stay starting at over $1M (probably much more these days since I've red about it a decade ago). That's where people who are recognised everywhere in the world are going for their holidays, weddings, whatever.

I am curious -- why does the article including the names and photos of his accusers make this more credible to you?

Because for one, it means the Guardian actually spoke to multiple people and didnt just hear something via three other people. And it means those people are actually willing to have their names and faces known publically. Making false allegations under your real name would be quite stupid.

Just wait he could exonerate himself by exposing that the crimes were actually perpetrated by a secret identical twin brother or by opening up a warehouse full of dead clones and claiming that one of them did it.
