There's just too much smoke to not know the house is in fire. Too many people saying he's a creep. I don't know him but, growing up in Calgary around the same time, I even remember hearing that he was a bully and a jerk way back then. People rarely change from that.

That actually calls into question another angle on this though. I understand why the victims in these cases might not come forward until they're comfortable doing so, and I take zero issue with that. But it does make me wonder about people who "knew about this for years" or however it's phrased and yet did nothing. I'm not specifically talking about being a jerk either. If it was well-known that he or other men have been inappropriate or committed these acts, why did these people enable that behaviour and stand idly by?
And no...I don't mean that as a defence or anything of the sort. It's more of a general question not even limited to this particular case.
