For a lot of reasons I chose not to dig into this topic much because it is almost impossible to be pragmatic about the allegations without appearing to be unsympathetic to the alleged victims.

Like you, I am inclined to agree with Naomi on this one.

This whole media blitz has been pretty awful on them I would guess
