I figured. I don't know what happened. He was never accused of rape, by the way. He was accused of sexual assault, which is a different thing altogether. Not a better thing, but a different thing. He never got charged with anything. Not saying that means he didn't do it at all. Neither of the incidents happened in Pittsburgh or Ohio, so I don't think anyone can claim home cooking.
The first incident cropped up days after he signed his first $100 million dollar contract, and was dropped after a friend of the woman issued a sworn affidavit saying that she had multiple conversations with the woman where she was bragging in public about having had sex with Ben.
The second incident started as a rape accusation but then changed into a sexual assault after rape was proved impossible. The woman claimed Ben raped her but it was conclusive when the rape kit was administered that that in fact did not happen. After what looked like a pretty shoddy investigation, the police concluded that there wasn't even enough evidence to pursue a sexual assault charge.
Ben was in the wrong here. He clearly never raped anyone, but he was abusive and may have sexually assaulted a woman. After the first accusation to even put yourself in a situation where another accusation could even happen was stupid. I don't know. I will just defer to the police investigation and Ben's record since. I don't think he's a serial rapist. I think he was an asshole that has hopefully changed.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
