Means one of two things:
It really is hysteria and people are just jumping on the bandwagon or
This is something so pervasive that it’s been going on a really long time, with victims afraid to speak out before.

It had been going on for sometime, and the many accusers who are speaking up now makes it seem like a bandwagon effect.

@Byron8by7 It's classic bandwagon effect. But that doesn't mean the accusations are false, simply that people are emboldened by others stepping forward and not being dismissed.
