It is pretty unusual for women to falsely accuse a man according to the research. It would be even less likely for 4 to do so. As for accusing men in a nonlegal sense, I don’t think research has been done on that to demonstrate frequency although I will say that I doubt it’s common although specific times where it happens are talked about a lot, not that that’s relevant to this discussion.
Bill Cosby had 59 women accuse him before the claims were taken seriously. It was only the last woman's case which met the statute of limitations which ended up prosecuting him. Even then he barely served 2 years in prison.
I'm looking at successful convictions for what Brand has been accused and from past history (with the sole exception of Epstein and Weinstein) its going to be an uphill battle for these women. the four women have alleged sexual assaults between 2006 and 2013. that's already > 10 years ago.
