Patrick Brown accusers stand by allegations

Full statement from lawyer David Butt
"These are the sorts of collateral details that inevitably fade over time. Equally importantly, collateral detail witnesses themselves often have the same frailties of faded memory and/or their own reasons for giving answers that distance themselves from controversy. These sorts of issues arise routinely in historical cases and cannot be blamed on survivors, because coming forward is such a difficult act for which it often takes years to gather the strength and courage."
I'm not so quick to conclude Brown is completely exonerated. There were earlier comments from the media that his bad behavior was an "open secret", and that what has been disclosed so far is the tip of the iceberg.
