The criticism is valid, over the last 25 years that victim could have approacged law enforcement or the media to prevent the abuser abusing again. Instead he waited until after they died to do a documentary.
These aren't new allegations. Victim blaming will not be tolerated here.
Lyndsey Graham had a lot of influence and pull. He absolutely worked to bury these stories.
I'm not blamingthe victim for their abuse. I am criticising their approach to holding their abuser accountable which is absolutely appropriate. They are not infallible as result of being abused.
The fact there were rumours for years does nothing but support that people should have come forward instead of going public after he died.
