Here is an article that discusses Bill Clinton's history. It appears to me that when multiple people come forward recently accusing an individual the accusations are more or less assumed to be true. Not sure Bill Clinton is assumed to be guilty in the same way. This may be due to assumptions of politics from the accusers, but not sure that explains it all.
Here's a key claim from the article.
There’s a disparity in the way progressives treat the allegations against Clinton and those of other powerful men. Trump, Weinstein, O’Reilly and the rest are unequivocally denounced as sexual predators, and their alleged victims are believed. But when progressive pundits even bother to comment on Bill Clinton’s wrongdoings, the former president is merely accused of crimes; he has alleged misdeeds on his record; his actions require us to uncomfortably re-evaluate his legacy; his accusers are untrustworthy, or they’re simply promiscuous; and besides, it doesn’t matter, because he’s not running for president anymore.
