So - just my personal opinion - there is a reasonable expectation that some of the 26 either entered into the situation with Watson "eyes open". They may have chose not to - or chose to perform what DW wanted. They may have then jumped on the band wagon. I expect some of the 26 were shocked / non consensual - and they were part of the group doing the allegations with grounds to complain ... but for whatever reasons - maybe there is no text messages or corroborating evidence to support them. Maybe they only talked to family or friends about what happened. . . . I think those 2 groups settled. I think there is probably a group of 4 individuals who have enough to substantiate their claims that a civil trial and bringing DW to "justice" and expose him for the predator they feel he is - I think that's the remaining individuals who are left.
100% speculation. But formed using what I would consider logic and plausibility.
