42. He hasn't been in court because he was rich enough to buy off his accusers.

That case that we KNOW he settled, for example.

But he admitted in his sworn deposition that he gave quaaludes to at least one woman for the purpose of sex.

That is rape, by his own admission.

He isn't innocent.

Stick with the BFEE, stevenleser. You say they're innocent until proven guilty. Octafish Jul 2015 #62

He avoided a court of law by paying off women he swore he raped. Are you fine with that? pnwmom Jul 2015 #65

Giving quaaludes to someone and then having sex with them isn't illegal onenote Jul 2015 #56

Actually, it is illegal to give quaaludes to someone, unless you're a medical person . nt pnwmom Jul 2015 #66

Which is why I said other than possession or distribution he hasn't admitted to a criminal act. onenote Jul 2015 #71
