There's not going to be a smoking gun...they convicted my dumbass uncle on my testimony alone (maybe more, I dunno, I was 8). But the point is, sexual assault isn't filmed generally. If you're waiting to see a video of him fucking children, it likely doesn't exist. The burden of proof for child rape shouldn't be that high anyway. Kids don't make that shit up.
The fact that we are here waiting for a damn video of him to come out just shows how fucked the situation is, and how low we've sunk as a society.. People who aren't famous often go to prison for this shit on testimony alone from a few different people. You keep waiting for that "smoking gun" my dude.
How about the numerous people saying he raped them? Are they all lying?
Any new photo showing their close ties contributes to more people seeing more photos. Seeing them together. In different situations. It helps cement the fact, that they were buddies, in people's minds.
For us, it's a waste of time. We already see the obvious. There's nothing new there.
But for his followers, each new photo should hit differently and harder. At least i hope it does.
