Your little Yoda speaks much truth.
I generally believe the stories about people coming forward. I’ve given it a lot of thought in the #MeToo era.
I used to work in show business, with a lot of celebrities. And it was the ‘80’s, things were different…yadda…yadda. You’ve heard it before. And sometimes the playfulness crossed a line. Now, I never personally felt offended or violated. And I never took it as sexual harassment- mostly because the guys I was working with were notoriously gay.
But if I opened a newspaper tomorrow and saw that women were accusing a certain celebrity of grabbing their breasts, and that celebrity was denying it — I’d make a call. Because I’d KNOW that the women were right and the guy was a liar. And it wouldn’t matter that I wasn’t bothered when it happened to me.
So I tend to believe most of the people that come forward.
Are you sure you’re not referring to his brother, Jeff Jordan’s, camp?

You’d think Terry Crews speaking out about his experience would dispell notions that men don’t “let” themselves be victimized like women do. But I guess not.
Ah, you’re right. Thought that was Jim’s house all these years. Did some more checking. Jim lives about half a mile from Jeff. Nice old farm house.
What a shock. The coach (Jimbos boss) who signed a letter saying Jim knew nothing about this, is on record saying that he knew about the abuse, spoke to it to school administrators, and confronted Strauss about the abuse.
This recording was made prior to the revelations.

To clarify - the “he” in the above should read “the coach”. I blame the voice-to-text software fudging everything up as I typed that. 
By way of Crooks and Liars, Louis “Goober” Gohmert blames Hillary
.
If not Hillary, then it was the “Deep State” or George Soros.
I said absolutely nothing of the kind.
As to the 8 or 9 who have come forward…that is a perfectly believable number.
But 8 or 9 not what I am talking about. What I am talking about is 1500-2000 number cited in this thread.
This number, it seems, would make him one of the most prolific abusers in history. This is an *extraordinary *claim. It requires extraordinary evidence.
Could you point to the post where this claim was made?
Sexual abuse has a wide definition. If you include all the students who saw him expose himself in a sexual way, that may be where the 2000 number is coming from. It’s not that he raped or physically assaulted that many.
It sounds like he may have been fond of washing his genitals with too much gusto while showering with students. That would certainly be a good way to sexually abuse a dozen or more students at a time.
In the cite upthread, they did not use the term sexual abuse. The term used was sexual assault\rape.
Just for comparison, the Nassar abuse case was about 300 victims, all minors. At least one of them, probably more, went to the police.
The NBC News article linked on the first page.
Sorry, I meant assault, not abuse. Assault is any unwanted sexual advance, which includes sexual exposure.
Every day it seems the bastard “gets more guilty”.
And someone should put Gomer Goober out of our misery once and for all.
Neither that page nor the more extensive article it links to says 1500, 2000 or even uses the word thousand.
Yes, that would be why I said “alleging”
I answered this question before, in post 19. Even highlighted the number:
Yup. That number jumped out at me.
