So (none / 0) (#69)

 can we make the converse argument? That if no other credible allegations arise we should consider this "once" highly improbable.

I agree that the worst behavior ascribed to Franken rarely if ever is not serial in nature.  Wouldn't a lack of further victims coming forth be exculpatory?

Given recent events, I would think that any serial creepiness on Franken's part would almost immediately come to light, so far nothing much. That'd why I personally am reserving judgement until further allegations do or do not arise.

reserving judgment. I was making a prediction (based on probabilities only) of what I expect to come to light within a few days. If it doesn't, no one will be more pleased than I. Nor have I said a word about what consequences I think would be appropriate, because I don't have a clear thought on that subject.

... since a second woman has just accused Franken of inappropriate conduct -- this time while he was a U.S. senator.
