So far, it is an accusation by a 13 year old girl.

No mention of if he denies it.

So far, a she said only.

Another aspect: hanging with her one-on-one leaves him open to possible false accusations. Another reason NOT to do it.

Unbelievable...

Just in time for MEMORIAL DAY, the LEFT finds something that is disgusting so they can take away our celebration of the incredible job our military does to protect us.
ISN’T THE LEST WONDERFUL

I guess if Kenny Rogers was around he would have to write a new song. Ruby please take your love to town.

Well, the Geezinslaw Brothers did record a song called "Chubby, Please Take Your Love to Town", if that counts.

If there is one thing that is consistent about feckless liberals, it is that they are perpetually outraged and miserable people who aren’t happy unless they are making other people miserable too

As usual, some dumb comments from people here before this gets to trial. How dumb are some going to look if he's exonerated?

My point here is this:
A few years ago here in MN (rural southern part), a teacher got accused of grabbing the boobs of a 14 yr old girl. He got fired.

After more investigation and interviews, the girl admitted to making it up because the teacher gave her a bad grade.

Yes, exonerated, but a ruined reputation and will never teach again.
"Oh, you're the guy was accused of....."

“raping a 13-year-old girl on multiple occasions”

Just ANOTHER example of intentional misleading or sensationalizing. What is wrong with just THE TRUTH?

The victim herself said it was TWICE! The urinalist KNOWS this, but isn’t it more EXCITING if I say “on multiple occasions”? While true, it leaves it up to the reader to insert whatever number of times they want to “imagine”.

The very bottom of that scale is “2”, with infinity the other (with an “infinite” number of numbers in between). Let’s be fair and choose “half way to infinity” as the number of times he raped her. /s

IF she is telling the truth. The real number could also be ZERO.

If he had sex with her that was rape. He is a pedo. Hang him.

Just like what was on the Hunter laptop.

Brilliant of you. The late Rev. Billy Graham would not ever be left in any room alone with a woman.

That he said to keep things under wraps until 18 points to his intentions being perhaps not unquestionably intentional and entirely dishonorable., but mostly dishonorable at best.

Fixed it.

I won’t be alone with a kid, not even in a vehicle. I won’t put myself in a situation where there’s even the slightest opening for an accusation.

That's what Billy Graham demanded of his male staff, also as applied to grown women. And he's one of the few big-time evangelists about whom there have been no scandals.

I still think that that portion is arguably ambiguous.

“threesomes are unnatural.” I don’t know about that. I do know that properly done they’re a heck of a lot of fun. L

Hurrumph.....threesomes are over-rated. They are A LOT of work!!

Why wasn’t the girl arrested for sexual assault of a handicapped person?

Well I hope he didn’t do it. Losing both legs makes me wonder..does his equipment even work? Guess we’ll find out at trial.
