    So far, very few Republicans.

    2017 List of Rich and Powerful Sexual Abusers, Harassers, Rapists, 66 - 85.

    66. Murray Miller, “The screenwriter best known for the hit TV series Girls was accused of sexual assault by actress Aurora Perrineau, according to a. Nov. 20 report from The Wrap. Perrineau, who alleges the incident occurred in 2012 when she was 17, filed a report at the West Hollywood station of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Sgt. Nelson Rios confirmed to USA TODAY. Miller's attorney, Matthew B. Walerstein, sent USA TODAY a statement in which his client denied Perrineau's allegations. Girls creator and star Lena Dunham and executive producer Jenni Konner issued a statement Friday in support of Miller, which she later apologized for after receiving criticism.”

    67. Roy Moore, “The Republican candidate for U.S. Senator in Alabama was accused by eight women of a range of inappropriate conduct, ranging from unwanted attention to sexual misconduct and assault. Most of the incidents took place when Moore was assistant district attorney in Gadsden from 1977 to 1982. One woman, Leigh Corfman, said she was 14 when Moore, then 32, took her to his home, undressed her and guided her hand over his crotch. The legal age of consent, then and now, is 16. Moore calls the allegations "completely false," and plans to continue his Senate campaign.”

    68. Gilbert Rozon, “Comedy festival organizer Gilbert Rozon has been accused by at least nine women of sexually harassing or sexually assaulting them. Rozon stepped down as president of Montreal's renowned "Just for Laughs" festival and apologized "to all those I have offended during my life."

    69. Mark Schwahn, “A screenwriter best known for creating the popular TV series One Tree Hill, was accused of "traumatizing" sexual harassment by 18 cast and crew members of the show, including Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton, in a letter published in Variety on Nov. 13. The letter was penned in support of former Tree Hill writer Audrey Wauchope, who detailed in a series of tweets the treatment female crew endured on the show. In a statement carried by Variety, E!, Universal Cable Productions and Lionsgate Television said, "We are monitoring the information carefully. (We) are committed to providing a safe working environment in which everyone is treated respectfully and professionally.”

    70. Tom Sizemore, “The actor known for Saving Private Ryan, was accused of molesting an 11-year-old actress on the set of crime thriller Born Killers (shot as Piggy Banks) in 2003, according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter published Nov. 13. The child actress allegedly told her mother that Sizemore touched her genitals during a photo shoot for the film. According to THR, her parents declined to press charges and months later, Sizemore returned for reshoots in Malibu. His agent, Stephen Rice, told the industry trade paper, "Our position is 'no comment.'"

    71. Sylvester Stallone, “An old police report detailed by the Daily Mail and the Baltimore Post-Examiner website indicates an unnamed teen, then 16, consented to sex with Stallone in Las Vegas in 1986. But she told police she did not consent to group sex after Stallone invited his bodyguard to join them. She said she felt intimidated into having sex with both of them. Under Nevada law, the age of consent is 16. “This is a ridiculous, categorically false story," his rep, Michelle Bega, told USA TODAY.

    72. Glenn Thrush, “Several women accused the White House reporter for The New York Times of sexually inappropriate behavior, reports Vox. The report's author, Laura McGann, claimed Thrush came on to her at a bar and she had to quickly leave. McGann said she believes he later disparaged her to their newsroom colleagues. The Times said it will suspend Thrush while it investigates the matter. "Over the past several years, I have responded to a succession of personal and health crises by drinking heavily," said Thrush in a statement to Vox. "During that period, I have done things that I am ashamed of, actions that have brought great hurt to my family and friends."

    73. Gavin Baker, “The technology fund manager at Fidelity Investments was accused by multiple employees of harassment, most notably a female equity-research associate who claims she was sexually harassed by Baker and filed a complaint, reports The Wall Street Journal. An attorney for the woman claimed Baker was fired by Fidelity, but Baker — who said in a statement he "strenuously" denies any allegations — claims he left the company "amicably."

    74. Robert Klug, “Gee said one of the most offensive incidents occurred in 2011, when she was talking with her boss at “CBS Evening News,” Robert Klug, about a workplace dispute.
    Klug, now 58, said “she should ‘have sex’ with [the] video editor who had been difficult to work with to ‘break the ice,’ ” according to court papers.”

    75. Charlie Chaplin, “In the 50-page document from 1927, Grey alleges that a 35-year-old Chaplin seduced her when she was just 15.

    The Victims of have always been free to use all means of American Justice and Judicial System afforded to them.

    Even if you still have a problem the results, you can always just log off the Internet, phone a Lawyer and File a Lawsuit.

    BTW ... what are YOU PERSONALLY Expecting Assault Victims of Donald Trump and Roy Moore to get?

    Are YOU PERSONALLY Expecting Donald Trump and Roy Moore to Testify Under Oath that ALL the Women Accusing them are LIARS?


    ... (prediction)

    Deflection, Denial and Misdirection.

    Trump should have done the honorable thing and urged More The Molester to pull out of the race a month ago but then honorable and Trump are compatible terms.

    He also did not actually resign. He announced he would resign - in "several" weeks.

    What we have here is a Fake Resignation. Clever.

    Of course he said it isn't abut me, meaning himself, then of course he went on about being ok. I wished I hadn't just had breakfast when I watched him speak, I want to hurl.

    Yes because saying someone did something should be all we need to get rid of them.

    Let's just abandon "innocent until proven guilty" and start seeing if people float when we dunk them in cages.

    LoL yeah but you wouldn't have been saying that during Clinton's presidency.

    Yknow, people from other countries can't believe how dirty politics is in America. Now, it might be the dirtiest it's ever been. The left is trying to establish a new tactic of taking opponents out with sexual accusations and we're drawing a line in the Sand

    Two kinds of people get accused of assault, those who did it and those who did not. As much as I dislike Franken I would literally fight for him not to resign if he claimed to be innocent and if there was no proof (but there was the photo) I will admit that when the allegations pile up then I would probably assume there could be some truth to some of them, but each allegation would have to be examined on its own merits.

    Danny, even though this is hitting the left harder than the right, I don't like the way these allegations are automatically assumed to be true which should concern you just as much as it does me.
