One of the problems with these accusations, has to do with the length of time between the alleged events, and when the accusers stepped forward. As time goes on, our perception of the past changes. For example, how many men, as teens, would take risks? When they look back to those risks, from the POV of being middle aged, they see risk, not fun. Driving the car 100mph is fun for a teen. But the older man would judge those same actions of his youth, differently. The same person can have two different attitudes for the same event all depending on how much time has passed.
A teen male might be part of a group of boys that jumps off the highest ledge in the quarry, into the lake below. This is exciting for a teen, even if very dangerous. Later in life, the idea of even looking over the edge, would be terrifying. This change of heart, that occurs with time, can make the older man remember his former friends, as not really being friends, since they put him into peril that could have killed him. With forty years of water under the bridge, perception of people also changes.
The closer the timing between the event and when one speaks up, the closer it will be to the real time feelings, in the context of the real time event. The longer the time lag, the more likely our mind can change and sees the same things, differently. As attitudes change, so does perception of the past. If a social taboo was to appear between then and now, we are socially forced to change our tune or be judged.
This is especially true, today, in light of the leftist game of judging the past, by contemporary standards, instead of judging the past by its own time; history versus revisionist history. This revisionist history tactic makes people remember the past differently, than what it was, due to the change in the social litmus test.
If you are old enough to recall 1970's, when Judge Moore was a Democrat, this was the time of free sex, swinging singles, and the jet set. Trump was part of that jet set, where all cool people went to the best parties; sex, drugs and rock and roll. It was also the time when the Democrats were pushing sex education in school, even to minors. Why teach little girls about sex other than priming the pump for the guys. Weren't they also pushing free birth control, condoms and abortion? If a 14 year old girl wanted birth control pills, modern hypocrisy did not apply back then. There was a legal way around parental authority. What about women's liberation and the burning of bra's? Wasn't the left trying to remove the stigmatism of having sex, by any which way, including homosexuality?
These limits tests of the times, gave cover to all the sexual escapades and perversions that was common in government in those days. The older timers, who played by the rules of the game in those days, are now being judged, by the standards of today, for things that was made stylish by the left, when they did it. Now the left acts like it is the moral authority, when it was the immoral authority of those times. How do you factor this out, to get to the truth?
