He was accused of it several times, but a documentary came out in 2023 that prompted the police to investigate him and the investigation just resulted in charges now. People forget that things take a long time because if they don't gather proper evidence first and just rush to bring charges, that usually favors the suspect not the prosecution.
Why are documentaries required for police to take any action? It's almost like they're completely happy not doing their job when accusations occur and only get off their asses to do something about it when somebody does all the work for them and embarrasses them in the media.
Or, ya'know, evidence came to light in the documentary that the police didn't have... And thus there was probable cause to investigate deeper. Police can't just start digging through your whole life without probable cause.
