> isnt it weird how these women filed a complaint together 20 years later

No. Not in the slightest.

From work I once did, essentially IT support for a Royal Commission inquiry into sexual abuse and assault, it's extremely common for all manner of sexual assault victims to remain silent for many years.

Regardless of the wealth of the alleged perpetrator(s).

Eg: ~ 50 years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Cable#Sexual_abuse_claim...

also, say, Rolf Harris, Sir James Wilson Vincent Savile, and numerous other rock spiders.

Ahhh I see you quoted, and responded to only the FIRST half of the sentence I wrote, totally ignoring what I was implying, and answering a question I didn't ask !

edit: comparing Jimmy Seville, and this 17 year old kid who touched his cousins tits during a consensual massage 20 years ago is a reach

    Read more carefully, note well: " Regardless of the wealth of the alleged perpetrator(s)."

    No, they had a reach around.

    Moreover, I didn't compare them, I merely noted that large time gaps are common place. Again, please read carefully.
