Alpha Jackass: “I wish that I didn’t suspect that the prolonged, poorly explained public absence of Melania Trump could be about concealing abuse. I wish that it was a ludicrous prospect.

Women need to rethink their strategy moving forward.No sane person can backtrack decades and accuse a man of rape.Just once forget the political implications & be bipartisan.I don't care if you're Bill Cosby,Bill Clinton,Morgan Freeman or Harvey Weinstein.The length of time before reporting suggest a lack of urgency.

Ms. Broadrrick did report this decades ago but the media fascination with Bill Clinton effectively suppressed the event and crime. He was at the pinnacle of Arkansas political power and recognized few constraints on his behavior.
I sympathize with your concern about the length of time between the actions of the others you cited and their being accused.
Perhaps a fresh look at statute of limitations is in order to strike a better balance between unlawful behavior and reporting a crime or seeking civil redress?
