So, the latest allegations against Trump are pretty bad...

Why would anyone wait 22 years if this was true?
Fear of not being believed? Fear of being publicly shamed? Blaming themselves for the attack, and not wanting their friends and family to know? Thinking they were the only victim, and alone, and now emboldened by realising that they could easily be one of many?

Most rapes and sexual assaults never get reported. Some get reported years later, when the victim finally stops blaming themselves, or finds the courage to go to the authorities.

The answer is about halfway through the article (which I doubt you've actually read):

Both men allegedly repeatedly threatened Katie Johnson that they’d kill or harm her and her family if she told anyone anything.

And why come forward now?

Well, I can easily imagine how, for a rape victim, pretty much nothing can be worse that seeing the man who raped you become President...

You would be wrong in your assumption. That aside, this is still a common tactic from the Clinton's. Destroy the character of their opposition, at all costs. The article also provides no evidence. Knowing that there were 22 scandals and 'gates' the last time the Clinton's occupied the WH, we should consider carefully all evidence at hand. Not allow ourselves to br manipulated.

So, any claim against Clinton, needs careful consideration of all evidence. Allegation against Trump of arguably the worst crime imaginable, meh, she's probably a liar.

Unfortunately, Hillary is a congenital liar that will say or do anything to enrich herself and gain power. At the expense of the American people. As the evidence shows.
As opposed to the evidence of the same against Trump, which is all lies and slander, of course.

Who cares? It's Trump. He can shoot somebody and not lose a single vote. Said so himself. And It's an attack engineered by Hillary. She wouldn't have allowed it unless extensive polling data showed it might have an effect. It's not a story.

These 'allegations' are in a civil lawsuit, not a criminal complaint. In this heated election they are not to be believed. Imho. Why would anyone wait 22 years if this was true?
WHY??? google institutional paedophilia, or domestic violence. I really hope its not a commonly held belief... particularly in a christian community... NOT to believe someone who has waited years to report sexual assault... given so many christian grown-up children of all denominations we now know were victims at the hands of their pastor/priest/rabbi/teacher etc

Situation described assumes 100% of everybody is a victim. Timing alone shows these to be politically motivated accusations. Imho
I assume you feel the same way about the information from Wikileaks?

Still, I need some evidence.
No, you don't need any evidence. SHE does. You are not her judge and jury.

It's always sad that some women are so traumatized they erase the key evidence they need to convict their rapist, because of shame and fear. This is 2016. Isn't it about time our culture erased the shame rape inflicts upon the VICTIM? We need more women to stand up publicly and say they were raped, and no, it is NEVER their fault. We need to recognize them as the victim, not a "participant".

Hillary is not the point of the thread.
Why should we get to know Hillary, when all the airwaves have been filled with nothing but Trump and his antics? Like SNL spoofed as to why Trump is losing big-time, is "Because the media keeps reporting everything I say and do!"

Maybe if he actually shut up and sat down just for once, we could!

Tell that to Juanita Broderick.
Oh, wait. It's okay for the Clintons to rape people and then threaten them, right?
