The Me Too concerns be because it almost seems like too many people want
to share the spot light of victimization. They can have some sort of
sexual liaison with someone rich and powerful, or later to be rich and
powerful, and then, years later, after someone else makes a complaint,
they all come out of the woodwork to be included.

We has a Me Too issue up here a couple years ago when a CBC radio host
was accused of assaulting a woman, and then two other women made similar
accusations. They dumped him in a heart beat and he ended up facing
charges. I had not problem with that because he was such a smarmy jerk.
He was acquitted on the charges.

When the crap first hit the fan the guy was quite candid about
enjoying rough sex. He liked to get physical and hit women, but he
complained that the acts were consensual.

The cases fell apart when the three women were caught lying repeatedly.
While one claimed that she was so ****ed off she never saw him again, it
turned out that she had. They had more dates, more sex, and more rough
sex, and she sent him emails telling him how much she had enjoyed it.
That complainant and another swore that they had not discussed the
incidents and the accused with each other, but the defense checked their
internet records and found emails between the two of them where they
discussed the cases and what they had told the cops and the lawyers etc,
and there were thousands of similar emails.... thousands. Yet they had
denied discussing it at all.

The third woman claimed to have been so traumatized by the assault that
she never wanted to see the guy again, could not listen to his show, and
could not even listen to the show with a new host. She denied that she
had contacted him, denied emailing him, denied sending photos of herself
in a very revealing bikini. They had the emails and the photos and
showed them to her and she still denied it, but then admitted it, but
explained that she had been trying to lure him to a meeting where she
would get him to admit what he had done and apologize to her.

The guy was acquitted because the three alleged victims had zero
credibility. When you give testimony in court and get caught lying you
lose your credibility and any testimony you give is deemed to worthless.
This was a case where one women came forward with an accusation (later
settled privately) and then three more jumped in the bandwagon with
surprising similar stores, and each one was found to be lying.

The guy lost his job, his career and his reputation and his accusers
were all found to have been lying.
