Rapists bragging or becoming public figures holding themselves out to be virtuous is often THE reason their previous victims speak up.
I happened to be watching Artur Rehi's YouTube report on Ukraine today where he mentioned Steven Segal was at Putin's inaguration. He made some reference to some "reason that can't be spoken" on youtube on why he lives in Russia. (I have posted the video to start at the Steven Seagal segment...what a creepy weirdo already.)
So I looked up why Steven Seagal fled the USA and found refuge in, of all places... Russia. He was faster than another Hollywood serial rapist Harvey Weinstein and got out before he got charged.
There are tons of stories about him that keep coming out once other women have spoken out. And sorry
@Skoob , but he is gone for good and so the victims aren't motivated by money like you claim Ms. Carrol was and is.
Seagal's schtick was to invite women to auditions, parties.... where they were the only ones there. Weinstein was promises to make them big (or ruin their careers) Trump has said he takes women on shopping sprees. Furniture, lingerie etc to get into their pants.
See the "freeze" response comment I bolded and coloured red below. The freeze sounds like what Ms. Carroll experienced too.
“Even now, my 43-year-old mind knows how to process this and understand what a loving relationship is and what consensual sex is. And there was none of that," Regina Simons said.

Regina Simons, an extra who appeared in
Steven Seagal’s 1994 film
On Deadly Ground, has accused the actor of rape.
This comes after other women have come forward with allegations of Seagal’s sexual misconduct.
In an interview with
The Wrap, Simons said that she was raped by the actor at a wrap party for the movie, which she said took place at his Beverly Hills home in 1993.

Simons said when she arrived at his house, he was the only one there and that there were no signs of a celebration.
“He took me into this room and then just closed the door and started kissing me,” she said. “He then took my clothes off and before I knew it he was on top of me, raping me… I wasn’t sexually active yet. People always talk about fight-or-flight. But no one talks about the freeze.”
'He was a predator': Julianna Margulies on her troubling encounter with Steven Seagal
In a Q interview, the actress recounts being called to a late-night audition in Steven Seagal’s hotel room

"My wheels started turning, and I realized I was in a very dangerous situation," she said. "And then he asked me to go into the bedroom because he was tired."
Margulies followed Seagal to the bedroom, considering whether she should run or fight. He put his gun down on the nightstand and asked if he could read her palm, saying he was a "healer."
"A lot of the letters I've been getting, they all say, 'Oh my God, he used the same line on me!" she told Power.
Recognizing the ridiculousness of his healer "shtick" — and feeling less threatened by the gun on the nightstand — Margulies ran out of the room, saying she had to go. Remembering she had no money and that the casting director had promised her a car home, she knocked on the door and asked the actor for cab fare in a voice loud enough to be heard in the neighbouring rooms. Seagal laughed and handed her a $100 bill.
"I still went to the audition the next day and I got the part," said Margulies. "And I had some shame about that. You know, I had shame about the fact that I had gone to his hotel room. I felt so stupid, even though nothing had happened to me. I didn't tell anyone about it for a long, long time because I didn't want anyone to think I got the part because I went to his hotel room."
