Looks like something's finally gonna happen with this. Arrested this morning, out on bail. Looking at up to 45 years if convicted.

As stated in the article, these allegations are nearly two decades old and just NOW they're finally getting around to arresting and charging him. The ol' Scientology Cult must have a lot more pull than anyone realized, to keep things from moving forward for so long.

I've been seeing this all day, and I keep seeing people acting shocked by it. I heard this sh*t like, forever ago, and I assumed it was common knowledge by now.

Keep in mind, he's not alleged to be a "rapist" in the sense of "The girl maybe had too much to drink and then regretted it the next day and now she's making accusations" or anything. By all accounts he's a "Hold them down and choke them until they submit" kind of rapist. Gross. And there were originally more women coming forward but the statutes of limitations expired. Who knows how "prolific" this guy's been?

Between the fact that these allegations are not new, a LOT of details have already come out many years ago, and the fact that he's neither All That Rich nor All That Famous, I'm very much inclined to believe the allegations in this case. If any woman were trying to extort money from a celebrity, spending 20 years in pursuit of it while most people don't even know the guy's name seems like a really sh*tty way of going about it.

I'm curious to see if "That 70s Show" reruns are gonna be the next thing to be "cancelled". I kinda don't think so, and I'm not rooting for that, I'm just curious to see. There's so many arbitrary double-standards with these things, with who gets punished and how much, what gets "cancelled" and what gets left alone, that it becomes impossible to predict. In his case, he's been heavily protected by the Scientology Cult, which is why it's taken so long to even get this far with regard to charging him, but he's also pretty popular among certain circles in Hollywood, which may make it less desirable for them to "sacrifice" him outright. Point being, he's well-liked and has powerful friends. He was in deep with Weinstein, for example. Hmm....

We'll see where this goes. Too much smoke for far too long to be nonsense, in my opinion. To my understanding, this is another Cosby case, where "everybody" knew he was guilty for years and years but everyone just kinda shrugged because he was rich and friends with the right people.

I'm like F*ck This Guy, personally.
