I also agree, both Nick and Meredith are incredibly stand-up decent people. But this is the danger of accepting "a story" based solely on your impression of a person. Jake's been around a long time, and people respect his work, so they either didn't believe or didn't care about the stories about him. Now Nick has a story, and because we know and like Nick, we choose to believe that. In the end, we're all just taking sides. Here's the other problem with this whole scenario: there are accusations of everything from "he made fun of me" to "he harassed and intimidated me" to straight up rape. Now it just looks like people just don't like him, removing credibility from the most serious accusations. And to be fair, i've known of him being a douchebag for over 10 years. But that also doesn't prove or disprove anything, it just makes things seem more plausible. So while I believe Nick's story, I don't know any of the other people with stories, so my opinion of them is still undecided.
