People change over time, people do things in their youth that they wouldn't have done as adults,

Amen to that.

I don't have much time or respect for those who grub around to dig dirt in people's past.
Look at people as they are now, then we can move ahead.

If people didn't look back at peoples history Garry Glitter, Rolf Harris and many more dangerous people would still be walking the streets.

I think trawling through someone's twitter account and investigating historic allegations of paedophilia, rape and sex crimes are slightly different.

People change over time, people do things in their youth that they wouldn't have done as adults, society changes, the company that people keep changes, people learn as they go through life. That's life. I don't have much time or respect for those who grub around to dig dirt in people's past.

Spot on. It's called "growing up"!

Yes, that.

I didn't follow the story about Bill Cosby but I was surprised.
They should add Trump since he's got 26 sexual misconduct allegations except it wouldn't be shocking. At the outside, 10% of those are false so we can round down to 23 legit claims.
But around 80% of sexual assaults go unreported, so where does that leave us with Trump?
Most pressing question: How did Cosby get busted and Trump skated or skates free?
