Its still allegations with no dna or any verifiable evidance. In the me too era I'm proud we can all speak out, but it has also created a dangerous climate that any allegation is taken as fact and their are numerous people that have been implicated that have turned out to be innocent.

To me, your questions about the victims financial and job situation sound like they are coming from someone who does not understand what they are talking about.
Sorry, but it's true. I don't mean to assume your life has been all roses, I'm just saying I have a hard time seeing how someone with experience of having to rely financially on someone who has or is hurting you would ask "why are they only coming out when they stopped getting money".
I explained my situation to point out why does it work like that. Because in my experiences and the experiences of some of my friends, that's basically how it always works. People find excuses to not bite the hand that feeds them, if nothing else.
That's just typical human behavior.
It doesn't mean they were or weren't abused, but it does make some of your questioning invalid. Its not suspicious, it's normal. It doesn't confirm anything, but it also shouldn't be treated as something that weakens their credibility, which is what you did.
Besides: even if someone started making stuff like this public out of greed, it doesn't make that previous crime go away. Victims are still victims even if they are ####ty people, and even ####ty people deserve justice, and there is nothing legally wrong with them getting a payday out of it. (In the US legal system.)
