    AFAIK the sexual assault allegation was proven with a proponderence of evidence in civil court only. I guess the criminal case already passed statute of limitation.

    This is why sexual assault, as this includes rape. But rape is a specific criminal thing and since he has not been criminally convicted he is only a sexual predator and assaulter… not a rapist. I’m explaining not agreeing btw.

    And civil court only leads to money not jail time.

    Edit: can anyone downvoting this please explain? I don’t understand, I was merely trying to explain the process and the current situation.

      You’re right, of course. It’s why victims of traumatic crimes should have longer to report their attackers and receive justice.
