14 years later ? this is getting ridiculous

[who]

5 years should be the max limit for adults to report this stuff after that just deal with your life

[tuffteddy]

14 years ago? C'mon now, that's ridiculous.

You wait for 14 years to report?something is not right here.

Does happen, but I’m not saying it’s this particular case. Also they might just want a pay out. Who’s going to remember something that happened where they were 14 years ago, if they’ve never done it. How can you defend yourself? It’s easy money. I’m just curious, if the accuser has messages 14 years ago saying he did.

There's no statute of limitations so women are using that to their advantage. Unless they have proof? Any bish can say you assaulted them and get away with it. Vice versa
