Sorry, I refuse to call Bob Dylan "Guilty Until Proven Innocent" based on the 56-year old allegation of rape which (as far as we know) is the only one!! (If you didn't hear or read it yet, the 80 year old singer has been accused by a woman who was 12 in 1965 when the alleged rape occurred).
In Scripture, Potiphar's wife accused JOSEPH and he was thrown in jail unjustly though he was innocent.* An allegation by a woman against a man therefore does NOT automatically make someone guilty, and I'm NOT in favor of the accuser's name being hidden so that her credibility cannot be weighed. Suppose it's TAWANA BRAWLEY accusing Dylan, wouldn't THAT be relevant regarding how seriously to take the charges?? Of course it would, because Tawana falsely levelled rape charges against someone in the past.
It's simply UNFAIR how women are given Carte Blanche to accuse men these days and soil their reputations...often while THEY (the women) have impunity and IMMUNITY from scrutiny or consequences!!
If a man has CREDIBLE accusations against him (like Epstein and Cosby, Clinton and Cuomo had), I side with the women. All the time. But I'm sorry, THIS accusation could well be by a lady who read that Dylan got 300 mil for his song catalogue recently and wants to "shake him up and shake him down" for a chunk of it in an out-of-court settlement..
Bob Dylan deserves the benefit of the doubt like ALL men do until at lease 2 or 3 witnesses make the same accusation against him. That's BIBLICAL....not that most Americans care about such things anymore!!
* I know that God sovereignly ALLOWED Joseph to be put in jail unjustly...but God's Sovereignty does NOT negate man's responsibility!! The evil woman who falsely accused him is STILL accountable for her lies!!
