Smileless2012. 56 years or not, there is rarely proof of this type of sexual abuse. It is 1 word against another.
As someone who was abused as a 12 year old by a 22 year old, the whole process is traumatising and can take years and years to be able to speak about it. Please all of you, do not speak of what you do not know.

It's not ridiculous - just very difficult to prove either way.

Nazi war criminals are convicted over 70 years after the event.

IMO it's ridiculous how can there be any proof either way after 56 years!!!!

Bob Dylan has been accused of sexual assault in 1965 by a woman who was aged 12 at the time. The alleged abuse apparently took place over a 6 week period in April and May 1965. During that time Dylan was in LA for 2 weeks, at Woodstock for a couple of days and then flew to London on 26th April and left on 3rd June.

It seems strange that someone should wait so long to bring a case. Could it be that he sold his back catalogue for a sum believed to be $300 million in 2020 and so has plenty of cash laying around?
