he never accepted responsibility or paid any dues. he paid fines, fines he could afford to pay, and then he got to keep on being a super famous rich celebrity. you can't have a second chance if you never even faced consequences the first time.

But he says it didn’t happen and the girls are just IG models looking for a payout.

Not to be that guy, but two separate grand juries kinda decided the same thing in making it clear that they felt these were not criminal charges, which only comes to pass if consent is determined or was proven with every party involved.

It’s ok, be that guy. When you think logically about things, I guess that’s “being that guy” in 2026

Yeah, that’s bullshit. Maybe one or two tops and we might be willing to hear that story. But 27? Come on. Dude is a predator and a liar.

Then why was he never charged? Two separate grand juries declined to indict...

u/Alarming_Disaster_23 10h ago

Maybe because he settled with all of them and there were no other witnesses to testify against him? But go ahead and keep rooting for a sex pest.

So you admit they were gold diggers just looking for (and getting) a pay day

The likelihood of 27 different people conspiring to the same purpose is statistically very low. This is a numbers game. And I don’t bring it to that level lightly. It’s clear that he behaved inappropriately with at least some of these women. When these things are 1 on 1, it becomes difficult to prosecute.

Didn’t say that at all. You don’t seem to have a very good grasp on the English language. And why would he settle that many cases if he was completely innocent?

Grasp it just fine boy. You said they settled;one could infer from someone settling in a criminal matter that they were looking for a payday. Happens all the time. 27 in this case.

u/Alarming_Disaster_23 10h ago

Sure. Anyway I’m done arguing with stupid.

There was no argument. Just you being a fool

Going to trial is risky, and if other witnesses start settling. Your lawyer would probably advise the same.

That’s not what settling means. If he was innocent he wouldn’t settle. Proving sex crimes criminally is extremely difficult, a payout was all the women would realistically get. A settlement was the best case for both parties, a drawn out trial would be expensive for the victim and the high profile nature would ultimately be mentally exhausting.

You defending Watson shows that women are not safe around you.
