Formerly famous Australian man goes to prison based on victim's testimony only

No offence but it doesn't actually state in the article what evidence was used to convict him. Sure there is a bit on the accusation but it doesn't list everything.

There were several victims, not just 1, so I think it's a likely that he is indeed guilty and should be jailed for a long time.

Looks like it was 5 versus 1.

I honestly never know about these sorts of cases.

I have trouble believing the stories that are told though. I'm not one of these people that believes children don't lie. They lie all the time. They're really quite well-versed in lying.

Nevertheless, we're not actually talking about children anymore but rather adults. On the one hand we have to consider the fact that there's no obvious motive for making up such accusations. On the other hand...how can I say this...a lot of women like to be victims because it gets them attention. That would be all the motivation some women need.

Of course, there's absolutely no proof either way which, last I checked, the law said wasn't enough to get somebody sent to prison. Apparently I was wrong.
