    If you agree with Even that there is a perfectly good reason the accuser waited so long, then why does it make you suspicious?

    "Calm down" is now the standard response to being called out for anything ever.

    Pathetic.

    Explain how those two sentences logically connect to one another. You just gave a good explanation for the timing, then acted like none existed.

    Its pretty simple, really. When someone is abused, sexually or otherwise, confronting the attacker is not easy at all. The differences vary with each person, but the passage of time doesn't always have the same effect. Some people can actually grow to forgive the one that hurt them after years, while others hold onto their rage. Every person involved is different.

    So with that whole post, how is the timing suspicious?

    It can take a very long time for abuse to come to light, partly because the victim does not want to have to remember & discuss the event.
    There have been a lot of court cases recently in the UK involving veteran TV actors & entertainers who are accused of abuse going as far back as the 60s. These accusations didn't come to light until recently.
    But so far not many have been convicted of anything since it was basically the accusers' word against them & there seemed to be little evidence other than that.

    Singer may be being targeted by someone who wants to damage his reputation unfairly, but he may be guilty.
    However, if any court case against him is to succeed it will need more than one guy's word against him. That is the problem with waiting a long time before you take action.

    What does anyone have to gain from this timing? Singer's already been paid his money, so the box office take is not likely to change that unless he has some percentage of it. So who? A rival studio? A rival studio put someone up to claiming that Singer abused him to hurt DoFP's box office numbers? Is that what you're suspicious of? I really don't understand and would like to know.

    I think it's just general publicity. It'll get a lot more play if he's got a big blockbuster movie coming out than if he didn't.

    It's the 21st century. You're guilty until proven innocent and even then it's difficult to accept.

    "Innocent until proven guilty" is a legal concept for juries in the United States. It's not a moral imperative for random people who have no involvement with the case. Jesus Christ.

    Truth doesn't change with time, only whether we accept it.

    While I can believe that the LAPD didn't do anything, I do agree with the FBI spokesperson that something like this would have not been ignored. At the very least, if there was concern that justice wasn't being sought, he should have taken his case to the media back in 2001.

    Especially when there was that investigation over similar accusations when Singer was making Apt Pupil (from the Wiki link provided a page or two back). Even though he was cleared of anything lewd in that case, Singer would have likely have been flagged because of that if this new accuser had taken his case public back then.

    He's also supposedly going to name more in this ring this week.

    Being so close together, you would think that. There was only a few years between incidences.

    Gawker.com has been reporting that Bryan Singer's parties are no secret in gay Hollywood.
