So, let's do an IQ test, Orry. You're a cop prosecuting a high level case against a multi millionaire "influencer" with access to media and hi price attorneys. What do you do before you lay the charge?...
You actually interview and get statements from all the witnesses, including those you say are victim-witnesses. Right?.... Somewhere all the vics have given statements on video to the police. If not, then you have ample wiretap and computer-file evidence to back up your allegations that these vics were controlled and compelled to work. Because you would be an implausibly incompetent cop if you didn't have this stuff.
So what is happening here?.... I suggest options:
1. The girls are fakes and are not the women the cops claim were victimized and they're there to muddy the waters as to whether Tate actually did what he is claimed to have done. This will allow the Tates to keep making money while the prosecution is going on.
2. They are actual victims who have been paid a LOT of money to recant their statements. (Or else they've been told that their friends and relatives might get the shit beaten out of them and their little pets disappear if they snitch and cooperate with the prosecution).
Both 1 and 2 are a lot more plausible than a cop who pulls the bust of his career without doing even basic legwork. I mean, what do you think cops do all day!? Eat donuts?!
