Look, it wouldn't surprise me if these allegations were true given the kind of person he is and his past behaviour.

But I'll just bring up the example of Kevin Spacey. A man whose career was thrown in the bin over allegations that were untrue. Obviously, we don't learn anything at all.

Kevin accuser status:

"She was hit by a car in March and died in the hospital shortly after. No driver was charged for the incident. "

"In September, another accuser died, although his name is unknown. The man, who was a massage therapist, was suing Spacey under the name of "John Doe" for sexual assault. Shortly before the trial began, he died. A source informed Variety that he passed away from cancer. Because of the massage therapist's death, his case against Spacey was dismissed."

"On Christmas Day of 2019, Ari died of an apparent suicide. No further details have been disclosed as of yet."

So I don't think Kevin Spacey is a good example of "innocent man"

Also some people need to read more about the "rumors" that "support" these allegations as they are "open secrets" in Hollywood. For any accusations, a little bit of research can provide very amazingly details about these cases from early 2000 in blogs and gossip Hollywood magazine.
