    It’s unfortunate this wasn’t brought to light sooner

    It’s hardly a surprise. He’s a very powerful man who has for decades put himself in places where he is in a position of power over young people, and has had run-ins with the law for sexual indecency before. Unfortunately in 1988 he got off with the charges being dropped, and even more unfortunately almost none of the articles today make mention of this.
