If he is the plaintiff, I believe he does have to prove something in order to win the case.

He has to prove that they knew the story was wrong and that they acted with actual malice or reckless disregard for the truth.

That's hard to prove.

The people who broke the story could say that they just related what the accusers told them.

The others in the media who repeated the story can say that they just relied on what those who broke the story already wrote.
