Let me refresh your memory. You wrote "no one is listening to his loud denials". He hasn't denied a thing, which you now admit. As to your point about the ethnic make up of the women. Imagine if it were a white man accused of raping several black and a few white women and a white poster posted I'm also concerned about the almost all black ethnic makeup of the accusers. I am pretty certain that would be taken as racist claptrap and quite justifiably so. Oh, and he can test them in a court of law if he dares. He can sue them for defamation. You can't outright lie about even public figures. If this or any of these women are lying he can waltz himself into court and sue them. He isn't exactly breaking down the courthouse door now is he. This latest woman is worth millions.
