I fear you are all vastly overconfident in folks "doing the right thing".
Look at the supposed "gentle" treatment that Kavanaugh's accuser received IN 2018, after the #metoo movement took hold. We are talking 1992. There was not even a Federal "Rape Shield" law (passed in 1994, signed, at least as far as this thread goes, ironically by Bill Clinton) at the time.
Why didn't she report it when it happened? Why did she wait 14 Years? Why did you go to a rally, WITH YOUR HUSBAND (you know the husband you were cheating on at the time with your current husband) three weeks later? Why did you accept a job offer from then Governor Clinton a few months later?
The woman would have been rapidly torn to furless bits. Whether she was telling the truth or not would be so far from people's minds that it would have been revolting. It would have been seen a political dirty trick (as was the Paula Jones accusation at the time). This was only a year after the Senate burned Anita Hill at the stake, and the biggest issues dogging Hillary was that she used Rodman-Clinton as her business name while practicing law, and the fact that she wore headbands (I SO wish I was joking on that one, people acted like it was the Mark of the Beast).
If anything it might have HELPED the Clinton campaign as the voters saw the revelation as just one more desperate attempt to stop an outsider from beating all the insiders.
Very different time.
