Sexual harassment

[BillyKaplan]

There's not enough evidence and a lawyer would never take up the case.

1. Are you a lawyer?
2. The article obviously hasn't shown everything there is. You can't tell based on that alone that there isn't enough.

Article only showed a lot of water and nothing else with almost zero evidences to even believe all this drama.

The article showed the guy admitting to being an emotional abuser of a predator but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not to mention given the fact that some of the accusers have decided to go forward with a case, they probably were advised by whatever lawyer they've retained not to show everything on the net. We know that the situation broke into the real world so there's bound to be phone logs as well.

Ehh, no? He clearly denies it.

"I'd very much like to make it clear that I never abused anyone"

"Even though I vehemently deny 'abusing' anyone."

Pretty useless comment when you made the OP asking people for their opinions. People have different views. You of all people should realize this when you made the thread.

Not useless... pointing out an observation on behavior of certain members who have posted on this thread... it seems to me you are not only fine with this type of behavior but seem to revel in the misery that has come from it... which should make everyone very wary of you... perhaps it's ok for you to dismiss this type of behavior because you engage in the same activities... but that's just a theory based on your remarks...

You are wrong.

I believe in innocent until proven guilty. The moment someone voices their opinion which may differ from your own, you resort to calling them a sexual harasser & someone who endorses such violence?

You're a real piece of work and have issues, "but that's just a theory based on your remarks... "

I was in a physically abusive situation once.

A was a pre-teen in school, i think maybe 10 to 11 years old at the time, and one of the teachers was a violent psycho who took chunks out of students arms with her ridiculously sharp fingernails, and managing to get away with it.

Imagine this situation, you are randomly assaulted by a schoolyard bully, who rains punches at you, then wrestles you to the ground and starts kicking you in the head while you are down.

Then once he's had his fill you drag yourself crying to a teacher...and the teacher takes the bully's side, telling you to "Stop whining you little [EXPLETIVE]" and that the bully has every right to do that, and when you try to point out how utterly ridiculous that is she digs her nails into your arm so hard that it draws blood and leaves large gaping wounds while screaming and spitting in your face about how you have no right to question her.

After this the teacher takes some sort of perverse interest in personally tormenting you, showing up every time you get beat up by the schoolyard bully to hurt you further.

School was not a good time for me.
It may not have been in any way sexual, but it definitely was abusive, and not something that could be easily gotten away from.

I swear, if anyone tries to tell me that the whole thing was my own fault i am going to be very mad...

At least the psycho teacher got what was coming to her in the end...unlike a lot of others of her ilk
Even if that comeuppance took waaaaaaay to long.

Point is, just "Walking away" may not actually be an option.
I couldn't just "Stop coming to school" so there was no escape from miss psycho.
And if they are an authority figure? Ooooh boy, in that case even trying to report them won't do it, who's going to believe the pre-teen over the grown adult?
And the physical evidence in the form of injuries inflicted? Dismissed out of hand, because the teacher says she had nothing to do with it so it must be true.

Fortunately there turned out to be limits to how much BS the principal was willing to swallow and she eventually got taken down, but the pain inflicted in the meantime...yeesh
