Thank you for using "number of" instead of incorrectly using amount as is the current trend.

It more than 10 years to even accuse him, that is ample time to do it twice.

Amount is for things you cannot count. For example, an amount of water. If you can count it, use number of.

HOWEVER, English is not a dead language, so the definition of amount may just be changing.
