[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 371587, member: 35"] I don't feel I was being unfair. It's not like I said the accusers were outright lying, and I pointed to the Church of Scientology's involvement as problematic. However, while the public may not be privy to all the details of the case, it seems like it would have been worth coming forward right away if evidence existed to support the claims of the victims. It's hard to believe Masterson and the Church of Scientology would leave a trail detailing his crimes for the past 20 years, but it's possible. Ultimately, it's the passing of time and lack of statute of limitations that bother me. It allows anybody to come out of the wood work whenever they want and make these allegations. Russell Brand's the latest celebrity to get hit with similar accusations from the past. The timing is rather interesting now that he's become a controversial anti-establishment figure. [/QUOTE]
