3. There are just too many women coming forward...

where there's smoke, there's fire.

When there were just 22 women and no criminal charges he should've kept quiet and realized how lucky he was to get out of it. Instead he said he had no regrets because he had done nothing wrong. That upset some women who hadn't come forward and the floodgates opened again as the NYT now says it's 66 women.

Guess he thought he was like Kraft, the Patriots owner, who got away with it once and got caught. But Kraft is a white, male billionaire and the legal system has long been geared to favor rich, white men, not POCs.

One other thing that both of these cases have ignored, the elephant in the room is that many establishments in the message parlor industry do discreetly provide sexual release. It's no secret but it's kept quiet, which is why Kraft and Watson found themselves caught up in it.
