Krauss claims to judge on 'empirical evidence' and states he would 'believe him over other people' regarding the problems.

Quoted Evidence

“Jeffrey has surrounded himself with beautiful women and young women but they're not as young as the ones that were claimed. As a scientist I always judge things on empirical evidence and he always has women ages 19 to 23 around him, but I've never seen anything else, so as a scientist, my presumption is that whatever the problems were I would believe him over other people.”
