[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone involved is gross. These women all agreed to consensual sex with this man until at some point it went bad. What the heck did they expect, having sex with a married man while working as his babysitter? I’m not blaming them for instances of sexual assault but let’s not pretend these are upstanding young women. This man is disgusting. If he, as my boss invited me to take a bath in his garden, that would be a hard no. Where is common sense?[/quote]

+100. These women are fully complicit in their own treatment.  They agreed to participate.[/quote]

I don’t think the evidence is there that they fully agreed to participate in everything that happened. [/quote]

There's no "evidence" but circumstantial evidence shows it.  Maybe they were overborne by his charisma - that means that it was consensual.  [/quote]

It sounds like he wouldn't let up and then they gave in because they felt he wasn't giving them a choice. Did you read about the woman who told him no even as he penetrated her while she had a UTI? How about the one he raped anally until she bled, even as she was saying no?

We weren't there. [b]But at some point, when person after person tells a similar story about what happens when you are alone with a person, you might start thinking that the person is doing the thing they are accused of[/b].

It does sound like, with many of these women, there were times thy did consent. Times they solicited his attention. And other times he r*ped them.[/quote]
