I think it's worth noting that no proof has been presented publicly, and to the contrary, 2 of the alleged victims have denied there being any sexual assault. So at least to a certain degree these are targeted attacks. Whether he was targeted because he sexually assaulted someone else is an open question, but there were some false claims.
- nv-vn 9y agoTo be clear I'm not trying to vilify anyone or deny the allegations. It's possible that they occurred and it's possible that the people who reported these claims did not intend to misconstrue the situation. Sometimes observing a situation from the outside may seem like something other than what it is, and it is possible that they misinterpreted situations that they saw as non consensual or misheard what was said etc. I just feel like the article should make this clear because the way it is written makes it seem like these claims have been proven.
