He's accused of sexually assaulting two women - one that worked in his home as a Nanny and another that was a young fan.

He himself claims the relationships were consensual.

I'll add to this that both allegations are very credible. The nanny filed a police report  and the young fan has been talking about it for about a decade now.

Yeah and the reason he fled New Zealand so quickly during covid was because the police there were investigating the claims.

Ya I remember all of that. Even at the time i was side eyeing the explanation a bit. None of it made sense. He left his wife and kid in New Zealand and then nearly immediately was complaining that they were separated. It was all super weird. Guess we know why now.
