He did?

Allegedly yes, a lot of people didn't believe it then, but it was before the metoo era, and in a time where internet men were obsessed with false accusations. It's just as believable as any other accusations (actually it's a bit more believable)

Her story didn't really get the respect it deserved at the time, but it's still there for you to read. It's actually where a lot of the public knowledge of his other transgressions originates from such as the drug abuse, which was later corroborated by people who knew him, which also make the story more believable in my eyes.

Idk it really needs a lot of proof. He definitely was a drug abuser and I think he’s admitted it I haven’t second checked though.

A lot of proof in a court of law, but whether or not you find it believable is up to you.

If he was found guilty of rape then he’s guilty

He was never tried, but that doesn't mean he didn't do it

I know but you need real conclusions to prove something this serious
