No it's not very much the same. Ghomeshi didn't rape anyone.The girl who wrote him love letters was pissed because she got dumped. The three or so women were in cahoots.
There were 2 women that were conspiring together, not 3.
Lucy Decouture (or however you spell her name) along with 1 other woman were actively communicating via text message and email, sharing their stories and talking about how they were going to teach Ghomeshi a lesson. The third woman did not engage in such collusion.
And Ghomeshi was not charged with "rape" probably because Canada has no such crime as rape and the word "rape" was removed from the legal vernacular of the Canadian criminal code probably 40 years ago and replaced with the all encompassing term "sexual assault" .
And Ghomeshi was charged with four counts of sexual assault and one count of overcoming resistance by choking.
If Ghomeshi had been tried in the US, he would have been tossed in the can for a very long time.
I am not a lawyer, but my best guess it that it would have to be proved they were colluding, deliberately lying. Perhaps Jian could have filed a civil suit. But that would have opened another can of worms. And it would have been on his dime - again.
Back in the late 90s I was involved in a litigation. I and the rest of my group were persuaded to settle, because our lawyer explained to us that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
My side were not 100% happy with the settlement, but it meant we hand a bird in the hand- a sure thing. Leaving it to a judge might surprise you, and not in a good way.
Unless it is a slam dunk kind of case (and those seldom go to trial) the truth is that a civil trial is highly unpredictable.
There are so many factors that can be interpreted in more than one way, or can fall to Murphy's Law, or can just simply malfunction at a crucial time during trial...
Simply, it is a live, trial by battle. Even in David and Goliath battles, David sometimes wins.
And, then, there is the expense... especially if you loose!

I can't remember who said it, and I'm paraphrasing, but it has been said, "'in Hollywood, it's not which starlette is sleeping with which Producer to get a role that is so shocking, it's which Star is sleeping with which producer to get a role."
Never mind Marilyn Munroe, what about Carey Grant?
I have been a bit out of loop , how was he convicted ?, I dint know if any evidence existed besides the accusers
Did he confess , I read about a recording ?
There is a famous story about Marilyn Monroe, who was in the middle of giving an interview, when the intercom in the studio had a message that she was wanted in the office of the president. She told the interviewer to hang around; it would only take 30 minutes, because he was old.

“In retrospect, lighting the match was my big mistake. But I was only trying to retrieve the gerbil,” Eric Tomaszewski told bemused doctors in the Severe Burns Unit of Salt Lake City Hospital. Tomaszewski, and his homosexual partner Andrew “Kiki” Farnum, had been admitted for emergency treatment after a felching session had gone seriously wrong.
“I pushed a cardboard tube up his rectum and slipped Raggot, our gerbil, in,” he explained. “As usual, Kiki shouted out ‘Armageddon,’ my cue that he’d had enough. I tried to retrieve Raggot but he wouldn’t come out again, so I peered into the tube and struck a match, thinking the light might attract him.”
At a hushed press conference, a hospital spokesman described what happened next. “The match ignited a pocket of intestinal gas and a flame shot out the tube, igniting Mr. Tomaszewski’s hair and severely burning his face. It also set fire to the gerbil’s fur and whiskers which in turn ignited a larger pocket of gas further up the intestine, propelling the rodent out like a cannonball.”
Tomaszewski suffered second degree burns and a broken nose from the impact of the gerbil, while Farnum suffered first and second degree burns to his anus and lower intestinal tract.

Did the Prince of Monte Carlo know what he was getting? Gary Cooper had the straight up All American image. Off camera he fucked more women than Wilt Chamberlain. Neither lived very long.
During the making of High Noon, he and Grace Kelly fucked like rabbits.

I remember a talk show where one of her friends was talking about her and said, she excused herself at a social gathering,and left, because she wanted to fuck some fat,ugly, international arms dealer or some such,because she heard he was good in bed. The other ladies listening pulled back and covered their mouths in shock. The woman telling the story told them "grow up". Cant remember the show. Probably Merv Griffin.Anyway, point being. She clocked up a lot of cock mileage. Lucky bastards.
