CTV asked him to comment before it came out and he declined to comment. His denile was abstract and not specific. He hires PR firms and investigators to dig through everything to discredit the accusers. Then 2-3 weeks later launches the attack.

So why did the team abandon him quickly
If he didn't remember these women why didn't his denile include that
If he did remember them why wasn't the she kissed me defense stated in the initial denile.
Why did it take weeks for all of this to come together?
Ok just to try, and some of this is also based on an interview he did with Global..

Why did the team abandon him so quickly?

None of the other names were in the middle of a ramp up to an election campaign. As soon as the accusation happened, the party went into immediate damage control, they couldn't have their party leader getting dragged through the mud for weeks or months at a time.

Not sure what your second question meant.

I remember that he did a press conference and denied everything pretty quickly.

Why did it take weeks to come together?

Probably a smart strategy to make sure that he not only had recollection of what happened, but also had witnesses and a investigation. If he'd come out piecemeal the media would have eaten him alive. instead he basically kicked CTV's credibility out from under them. It was a smart move and he wasn't in a rush because frankly he didn't have to rush to save his campaign.
