Yeah. Here:

Of all those claims, these stuck out:

a 16 year old in 2006 when he was 30 and gave her instructions to hide from parents. Underage is rape.
In 2012 he is accused of raping a woman who was treated in a Rape Treatment Center afterwards.
In 2020, there was another 16 year old and evidently his manager believed him at first and then issued a statement saying he was misled and terminated business with him.

I only see allegations, no convictions. Remember what happened to Kevin Spacey and Julian Assange?

For what it's worth: I'm not saying he's innocent. But to go from allegation to conviction, you'll need a judge in my book. Not a trial by media.

Yes, this is true about Spacey being innocent. I have personally known people who have made false allegations so I don’t doubt it happens.

I was falsely accused of rape once
