40-year old accusation. She had 35 years to tell somebody before now. Not getting it. I am not saying she is lying, but when you wait 40 years to tell anybody, then what do you expect to happen. Beyond that, there are so many fake rape allegations, i just dont know what to think about this one.
Anyone coming forward 37 years later with these accusations is an idiot and a fool. And should not be believed.
Agreed.
Sounds like a nasty he said/she said fight. I am impressed by the fact that he has given his denial under oath and has filed a criminal complaint. Should be interesting to see how this plays out.
Yes, and me too, but, I won’t accuse anyone without evidence. We can’t have guilt by accusation in this country
Shit’s outta hand.
It would be easier to make a list of showbiz types who *haven’t* led a life of utter depravity.
I’m sorry, this is ridiculous. He said/she said with no proof is just horrifying.
Too soon!
The goal should be to create a culture where sexually abused come forward promptly to accuse abusers not 37 years later where justice is impossible.
Did this dude get nominated to the Supreme Court? /s
What evidence do you have he is a leftist? I couldn’t find anything on point. He is Freemason.
Is there a statute of limitations?
What percentage are fake?
Pervs don’t commit just one crime. They do it over and over. Thus this is how Cosby and Weinstein finally got nabbed. There were a multitude of offenses. If Hutton did this there will be many others to step up.
Maybe this chick saw a shrink and got false memories implanted. It’s a common trick used by sickiatrists and sickologists.
I am really, really tired of these accusations after DECADES of silence. I don’t care which side of the political or ideological spectrum the perp or victim happen to fall on.
Assuming that she was,in fact,raped.
Me too movement has led to this type of garbage. Hope the courts get it right.
Leftist or not, his response is pretty firm and straight forward. That says a lot. His FBI affidavit leaves him open to perjury (I would think), so that’s ballsy move for a guilty man.
The #metoo movement went off the rails early on. Unfortunately for the genuine victims of assault, it has pretty much destroyed their credibility.
As far as this one goes, I’m not convicting a man simply on the basis of a nearly 4 decades old accusation. If she was indeed a victim then I feel for her, but evidence matters, even when the accused is a man.
