One of the problems here is, how do you prove that he raped her, after all this time? I am by no means defending Weinstein, but it seems to be pretty easy for women to accuse men of sexual harassment and even rape, without any proof. How do you know when it is true, and when a woman is making a false accusation?

It's a good point. These women would have needed to file charges right after the crimes occurred, which they were too afraid to do.

Or they took a payoff to keep quiet.
