Bryan Singer Dropped As LEGION Executive Producer Amid Sexual Assault Allegations

@NinnesMBC - It's still only accusations. The fact he himself asked to have his name removed after the accusations tells me it's a false accusation. But we can't know for sure until a trial.

@deadlyClass - Dude I'm not saying he's innocent. I'm saying that taking this bit of information that makes his position more favorable in the innocent category because that's speaking pretty highly of his character knowing that this situation would be harmful to anything with his name attached and going out of his way to ask for his name to be removed from a show he's barely involved with so that doesn't effect them. How does that say he's guilty?

"In law, an allegation is a claim of a fact by a party in a pleading, charge, or defense. Until they can be proved, allegations remain merely assertions."

By definition until proven it is not a confirmation or factually supported.

It would certainly not be the first time that someone has falsely accused someone.

Normally happens when a big project is about to happen because regardless of whether it happened or not, the main reason people make the accusations is normally for financial gain or to ruin the reputation of the person involved.

If for example, you wanted to harm a project, the best way to do so would be to attack those involved. If someone said that RDJ sexually assaulted them then it could affect Avengers Infinity War.

Notice also how it is a 'new wave' of sexual misconduct and assault claims - not a single person but multiple people all making claims around the same time.

- Is it possible that they are all true and just so happened to all make allegations at the same time, yes.

- Is it also possible that some of them simply heard that someone was making a sexual assault allegation and thought they could benefit from a false accusation, yes.

Making a False Accusation carries a maximum penalty of 7 years imprisonment but a majority of the time those who make such accusations are often dealt with outside of court as it's damaging to those involved regardless of truth - as such reward often overpowers the level of risk.

@dracula - If that's the accuser I'm thinking of, it was because he accused Singer of molesting him at a place and time Singer could not have been at. I'm not saying all the allegations against him are untrue, as none of us know what happened, but this particular one didn't hold up.
