Obviously don't know too many details other than what has been reported - but the investigators found no grounds for an actual criminal investigation. So now all these women filed civil suits

And in many cases they went back to his home and hotel room "multiple times."
There are plenty of other stories out there. Figure we needed a thread to start keeping track of them all.
