The reason many women don't come forward right away is because of FACTS such as it being exceedingly difficult to prosecute rape cases, shame, etc. This increases several times over when you're dealing with a famous person who has the resources to potentially have you blackballed, threaten you (and loved ones potentially), can afford lawyers to turn your life inside out and bring out every mistake you may have made. Given Cassie's story, if you really think that it would be that easy for her to just come forward at the time given Diddy's immense power then you just have some kind of mental block when it comes to this issue. Victim advocates recognize these factors which is why grace has been given to come forward on these matters. It doesn't mean a woman is automatically telling the truth, and the matter needs to be fully investigated but the idea that there is automatically something amiss when a women comes forward years after the fact is erroneous and that kind of mentality protects predators.
In this specific case, why do you think he settled so quickly? It's because there would be EVIDENCE that would be able to be disclosed via discovery such as finding the escorts and interviewing them, any witnesses to him beating her, interviewing Kid Cudi, messages she may have saved and numerous other things.
What a clown mentality that you have to be.a "simp" to point this out.
