Being accused of sexual assault or harassment or both?
The woman accusing him can't seem to make up her mind, which suggests she doesn't know the legal definition of either word.
I have no idea about what he did or didn't do, but it concerns me that such accusations can simply be thrown around publicly. The accused immediately gets branded, while the accuser is not called out for making such a claim publicly without presenting evidence.
The worst part of this is that it's been proven over and over and over through multiple studies that sexual harassment is in the eye of the beholder. Meaning while there are laws describing it, it's really up to the man or woman to decide if they want the advances or not. For clarification I'm not talking about telling someone they'll get a raise if they blow you, slapping a co-worker's ass, or telling them their tits or cock looks great in those clothes. I'm talking about going through a co-worker's desk drawer and finding a GQ magazine and deciding you were harassed; having an attractive co-worker ask you out not being harassment, but an unattractive one doing the same being harassment; and so on.
