What about Charlie Rose, whom Robertson mentioned? This past fall, eight women accused Charlie Rose of harassing them with “nudity, groping, and lewd calls.” But he’s a “terrific” person! Never mind that his apology effectively acknowledged that the allegations against him have merit—Robertson likes him and that’s all that matters.
What of the lack of trial that Robertson referenced? In many cases allegations aren’t tried in court of law because they can’t be—the statute of limitations has passed. Attempts to reform statute of limitations laws tend to be opposed by conservatives. Robertson, I should mention, is aware of the existence of these laws—in 1987, as he faced allegations of various improprieties, the Chicago Tribune reported on his comments as follows :
Roberston said on Thursday he has admitted on several occasions that he had sown his share of wild oats in his youth, quoting the late Sen. Sam Ervin that “most of my sins have either been forgiven by the good Lord or have outlived the statute of limitations.”
