Although it cannot be denied the timing is suspect, I believe him.
I respect if others don't. Sexual abuse however does not come with a hand book. It often gets buried, hidden and comes out at times, and in ways, even the victim can't control. Common sense seems to get thrown out the window whenever Jackson allegations arise. Those who believe victims should be silent when a perpetrator has died are simply wrong, and frankly uneducated on the issue. Hitler....slave owners...the 911 bombers... recently, one of the Boston bombers. They are now all dead. The fall out, the pain and healing however, continues. Speaking, (although not necessary with Matt Lauer) is really to only way to ensure that can happen.
