A trial? OK. What is the charge? What degree of sexual assault is being alleged in these cases? A true story. Many years ago (somewhere in the mid-'80's) a local restaurant in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin offered Packers game packages. This included a ticket, bus ride to and fro, breakfast, and all you cared to drink until the return to the restaurant. Well, a guy I worked with got pretty drunk and slapped/patted/fondled a female passenger's butt. She was furious, and when they got back to Falls, she called the police, and the guy was arrested and charged with fourth degree sexual assault. He pled guilty and paid a fine.
Now, that is what this sounds like. Trial? Hardly. But an arrest and then decide whether to pursue it to trial? Sure. I'm all for it. But the problem is that the guys doing the alleged deeds are rich enough to not worry about finances during this time. What about the woman or women, who would have to take off of work to testify, and then face all sorts of questions about their previous sexual experiences, having to re-live the experience while being asked to explain exactly how they were feeling, did they tell someone else, if so, what happened, etc. And after all that, the guys gets a fine, and goes on with his life. While the woman now faces social media harassment, among other unpleasant outcomes. And, yes, there is the possiblity of suing the guys, or the network. All you need to do is find an attorney who will take the case, and years and years of litigation, depositions and hired operatives investigating every aspect of your life.
So, what to do? Since there are allegations of sexting, that should be proof enough. As for the allegations of the "he said/she said" type, how about an arbitration process to try to sort out the truth? If either side is dissatisfied, then they can pursue other avenues of redress.
Oh, and why do guys do this? Because they think they can. Since being recruited in college with extra favors being offered, they see women, as was alleged in the article, as being put on Earth to please them. Its privilege, arrogance and a sense of entitlement. And its not just the rich and well known/powerful. Instead, it happens in restaurants, offices, home health workers, in every walk of life, its rampant.
