Powerful men do tend to have trouble keeping their pants zipped when they should. We have had enough scandals in politics/business to confirm that. Berlusconi, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Clinton, Petraeus and many more in the last two decades.

When there are accusations - I generally give the benefit of doubt to the accused. But if the chain of women claiming trouble approaches a miliCosby - then it is time to retract said benefit.
