Race can't be a factor. These guys all were getting away with their crimes for multiple decades and now suddenly, when they are old, they are getting punished?

The courts aren't instantaneous. It takes time for court dates to arrive and pass.

It was a lot harder to hold them accountable in the past due to culture, lack of social media, their power and influence etc.

Because there needs to be solid evidence.

We may know theyre guilty, but in the eyes of the law they are innocent.

The accusations didn't start in earnest until multiple decades later, which is the main reason for the gaps between crime and punishment.

Its really hard to get people to believe women are telling the truth or that they dont deserve to be abused.
A lot of the time its just a full on cover-up (see Larry Nassar as a more current event)

R Kelly could've been prosecuted before social media easy, but he had too many defenders, despite his crimes being alluded to in his lyrics.

Weinstein case is strictly wealth, power and little attention at the time. Although he would've faced justice sooner or later.

Cosby would've got away with his crimes if it wasn't for that standup comic routine joking about him.
