      Eh? So far the only allegation is from his little sister who has provided zero evidence. She also mentions in her interview with Weil how she has gotten angry at her brother over money on more than one occasion… I don’t know, I don’t want to completely dismiss her out of hand, but to just blindly hop on the train of him being a bonefide rapist is also wreckless. He’s also quite openly gay… So him raping his little sister doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but who knows.

      I think I’ll let people qualified to get to the bottom of these allegations sort it out, given the very “he said/she said” nature of it.

        She still deserves all of our attention and her voice needs to be heard. She struggles for survival and probably can’t even afford good lawyers to sue him.

        Sexual orientation or even desire are quite irrelevant, as that would apply to pedophiles too otherwise.

        She also mentions in her interview with Weil how she has gotten angry at her brother over money on more than one occasion

        How could she not be with how she was, according to her, pushed into sex work? Having one of your siblings resort to sex work for survival while your own net worth is more than half a billion dollars definitely means you’re the bad guy no matter whose version is correct and no matter how you look at it.

          Sheesh they didn’t completely shut down the possibility. They just said they think it’s unlikely, and I agree with them. Whenever I’ve seen people suddenly jump out like this to make extreme claims it’s been somewhat sketchy at best.

          Look, I’m not saying she doesn’t deserve to be heard. I stated as much in my first comment. But it’s literally just her word versus his at this point. She even says her other siblings abused her, so do her other siblings deserve to be fired from their jobs just because she claims they abused her?

          Bring proof or don’t bother grabbing your pitchfork and leave it up to expert investigators to get to the bottom of the matter. Much of the internet is way too eager to start a witch-hunt simply because it fits in with their biases.

          She looks like a very troubled person. I definitely wouldn’t deny someone a job only because of her allegations.

          He doesn’t owe her anything, but even looking at those images it says he offered to help.

      Unfortunately those claims are not backed up by anything. You can’t really state them as fact like that.

      Such a statement is not confirmed, so why have you stated it like that?

          Your “rarely” seems to be contradicted by the statistics:

          When methodologically rigorous research is conducted based on this definition, estimates for the percentage of false reports converge around 2-8%.

          • For example, Dr. David Lisak and colleagues analyzed sexual assaults reported to a major Northeastern university over a 10-year period to determine the rate of false reporting. Of the 136 reports taken during that period of time, 8 reports, or 5.9% were found to be false (Lisak, Gardinier, Nicksa, & Cote, 2010).

          • In a study of sexual assault cases reported to the Los Angeles Police Department in 2008, researchers found that rate of false reports was 4.5% (Spohn, White, & Tellis, 2014).

          • In a multi-site study of 8 US communities involved in the “Making a Difference” (MAD) Project conducted by EVAWI, data were collected by law enforcement agencies for all sexual assault reports received in an 18-24 month period. Of the 2,059 cases that were included in the study, 140 (7%) were classified as false.

          • Statistics even appear to converge internationally. In an analysis of 2,643 sexual assault cases reported to British police, 8% were classified by the police department as false reports. Yet when researchers applied the official criteria for establishing a false allegation, this figure dropped to 2%. These criteria specified that there must be either “a clear and credible admission by the complainant” or “strong evidential grounds” (Kelly, Lovett, & Regan, 2005).

          So if anything, instead of trying to discredit her or mob-downvote every comment mentioning her story to bury her voice, you might probably want to reweight the odds and start to consider the fact that it’s highly likely she’s not lying.

            All important stats. Keep in mind though that this isn’t a typical case. I imagine that in cases where the accused has mountains of money or third parties have a reason to discredit them that the % of false claims would go from 5%(ish) to far higher.

      Not taking unsubstantiated claims from someone with a grudge seriously especially when they are pushed by an anime pfp with an Israeli flag.

      Are you really surprised by what corporations will do in the pursuit of profit?
