He's no rapist. Well, at least I certainly hope not.

Why arrest him now?

Scott Allen Miller, who used to work at 'RKO, wonders about the timing of Hopkins's arrest the week after he was let go - and posits that maybe, when Hopkins filed for unemployment benefits, he used his actual name, the one he consistently refused to divulge in public.

something here doesn't add up

I'm no fan of Hopkins but this doesn't smell right.

It Smells right to me! He's
