You do know there are innocent people in Jail

[gabeana]

because accuser have lied, and since we are human unfortunately humans lie, no one is immune from it

Regarding Franken, at least right now does not seem to be a pattern at all of abuse
in the case of Cosby, Moore, Trump, Spacey there is a pattern the accusation are coming from a variety of sources

Here on DU people just throwing Franken under the bus,
some of you have son's you would feel devastated if he was falsely accused and it does happens

I think we need to give it time before we act like we know what happened because we don't

think about Brian Banks falsely accused of rape and spent 5yrs in Jail ruining his football career for something he didn't do

this from his wiki page

in the summer of 2002, Banks was arrested and charged after classmate Wanetta Gibson falsely accused him of dragging her into a stairway at Polytechnic High School (Poly) and raping her. Faced with a possible 41 years to life sentence, he accepted a plea deal that included five years in prison, five years of probation, and registering as a sex offender. Wanetta Gibson and her mother Wanda Rhodes sued the Long Beach Unified School District, claiming the Poly campus was not a safe environment, and won a $1.5 million settlement.[17][18] In March 2011, Gibson contacted Banks on Facebook, met with him, and admitted that she had fabricated the story. Banks secretly recorded Gibson's confession, but she refused to tell prosecutors that she had lied so she wouldn't have to return the money she and her family had won in court. Nevertheless, with Gibson's taped admission and help from California Innocence Project attorneys, Los Angeles County prosecutors overturned Banks' conviction on May 24, 2012.[18]

On April 12, 2013, the Long Beach Unified School District announced it was suing Wanetta Gibson for $2 million in an effort to recoup the $1.5 million she received, along with attorney's fees and punitive damages.[19] On June 14, 2013, the school district won a $2.6 million judgment against Gibson, which includes the $750,000 settlement initially paid to her along with attorney's fees, interest, and $1 million in punitive damages.[20]
