Even putting aside whether he is a literal rapist or not, it sounds like he is blatantly guilty of being a serial sexual harasser. The examples of public behaviour he is noted for in the article are completely beyond the pale.

Certainly, but it just concerns me how bad they're working to make this guy out as a rapist, when no one has been willing to put their name on an actual rape accusation.

  Is that your takeaway from that post? Out of over 3000 words, "rape" was literally only mentioned twice. The rest of it was an account of A LOT of appalling and unacceptable sexual harassment.

  isis agora lovecruft among others has put her name explicitly on this: "Sometime around 5 o’clock in the morning, I woke up very confused and startled because my pants were unzipped and Jake’s arm was wrapped around me, his hands in my underwear and he was rubbing my clit and rimming the edges of my vagina. I tried to shove him off me and wake him up." You are saying, "it just concerns me how bad they're working to make this guy out as a rapist when no one has put their names explicitly to actual penetration, as opposed to mere sexual assault."

    Not at all what I was going for. I hadn't heard that one, not in such detail at least. I had heard mostly about some offensive comments and a proposition, but nothing that awful. That's basically exactly what I was looking for actually. Must have missed it. Thanks. I'll stick to commenting on technical topics... This has just been a mess. Try to ask some questions and you just get slagged around here if you're not 100% up to speed. Thanks though.

Probably blatantly guilty, though it didn't help that when the fog finally cleared and we finally got a detailed story of him sexually harassing a drunken stranger in public, corraborated by multiple named and trustworthy people, it promptly imploded after the woman in question apparently came forward and said she was neither a stranger nor being harassed. I assume that some of the newer claims are actually true, but that a whole bunch of trustworthy-seeming people were willing to stand behind a claim that fell apart like that... well, it doesn't inspire trust.
