I am in no way defending this man, but we all need to remember that, in most similar cases, it's a matter of "She said, he said."  In other words they are ALLEGATIONS that may be very difficult to prove.  Anyone can come forward, years later, and say "Oh, yeah, I was molested by this character."  That doesn't make it so.  I guess what I'm saying is that there needs to be a thorough investigation, and if charges are provable, then he should be tried, and afforded his due legal process.
