49. If this did happen

it's not uncommon for the victim of sexual violence to not come forward. It's embarrassing, it's hard to prove, it's invasive both in terms of the medical exam and if/when the case goes to court.

Personally I think the guy is probably just an utter absolute dumbass who didn't think through the story he was telling and didn't actually do what he claimed in the show. I think he was trying to be "edgy" as an artist, but is too stupid to know what crosses the line in a good way and what crosses is it in a bad way. Every comic wants to be like Richard Pryor or George Carlin, but most lack the talent to be as provocative as those two.
