Subjectively i have little doubt this is true. And my faith for legal institutions to do what is right is rather low.
That said, has it been legally proven in court that he raped (a child)?
I dont need evidence for me, i need it for when i talk to other people and they ask about such evidence. Regardless of how obvious it is the norm remains innocent till proven guilty.
Nope.
Shouldn't that concern you?
I am very concerned. The average person seems scared to make realistic conclusion based on very observable information, almost requiring a perceived authority to first point out the obvious in order to see the problem to begin with.
Still we should keep trying to push to get as "official" proof as we can get, if not because it helps barring against bad actors who are trying to discredit reason but also because for some reason the fascist is particularly more upset about this then other things. If he had any ability to keep himself together and coordinate with intelligence he could have swept this under a rug much easier.
He was going to be, before his 14yo accuser was forced to withdrawal her accusation after her and her family received a deluge of death and rape threats from Trump supporters.
Linking to sources on that would be useful.
