You are avoiding at least one situation that wasn't consensual. There are more out there but one that was settled in court. He has a behavioral pattern that people will and should believe.
You mean how he settled with Paula Jones ?
The woman who used the accusations to get in the national spotlight so she could sell books and pose for playboy ?
I find it hard to take that woman seriously. I think President Clinton just paid her off to shut her up. Iirc, the settlement ended up not even covering her attorney fees, and the judge scolded her for not having a case.
Broaddick or w/e never said anything until there was no evidence except her word. And she didn't give that for a loooooong time. And she was cheating on her husband at the time.
Like i said, i can't rule out their accusations, that would take a leap of faith. Still, presuming he's guilty would be another leap of faith. This is a big part of the reason why i think victims of rape have a loose obligation to confront their aggressors, if not for themselves, but for other, potential victims. Waiting 20 years to mention it makes the case much weaker on evidence while also looking more like a potential publicity stunt for someone in the public eye like President Clinton.
