There might be a content-warning flag or something for the unwary on this site. This comment is about the mentions of sexual assault in the post.
> the subsequent sexual misconduct
According to some other first-hand accounts of the people who were victims of this "misconduct," it would be more accurate to call it _assault_.
> And while I didn’t personally witness anything as serious as those accusations, I don’t find them at all hard to believe, given the tenor of the event by the end of the weekend. You couldn’t go more than five minutes without seeing a topless woman being fondled by a random stranger.
It sounds like the author may have witnessed sexual assault several times and it didn't even register in their minds.
Update and the author is writing this as a person in their 40s now with the gift of hindsight, #MeToo, etc.

- agentultra 4y agoThe author is literally saying they didn't witness any sexual assault. The next sentence they describe witnessing sexual assault. That might not register to a 17 year old who was raised in a culture that minimizes/hides sexual assault but the author is 40 now. They should be able to recognize what they saw for what it was and not continue to minimize it. If they haven't learned that fondling someone without their consent was wrong then and is wrong now they haven't learned anything.
