Excerpt from this article:
"Did the horrific gang rape detailed in a recent Rolling Stone article
take place as reported? Some in the media are beginning to question the
account of "Jackie," a student at the University of Virginia who says
she was raped by seven men as part of a fraternity initiation. Richard Bradley, a former editor at George magazine who was taken in
by Stephen Glass (the former journalist who became infamous for
fabricating stories), wrote on Nov. 24 that he has since grown
necessarily skeptical of articles corroborating his 'pre-existing
biases.'"

Accusations of sexual assault should - almost! - always be believed. I say, "Almost", for 2 reasons. One, I've read the book Don't Me Daddy - False Accusations of Child Sexual Abuse, by Dean Tong, and Two, I have seen first hand how social workers and law enforcement officers can encourage people to make such false accusations.
But even still, I think false accusation of sexual abuse are rare, and when a person is accused of sexually assaulting someone - such as Bill Cosby, Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, Woody Allen, Kobe Bryant, Arnold Schwartzenegger, etc - those accusations should be believed!
