I wonder why this was a bench trial and not a jury trial. Did the defendants request it, knowing that they’d have a better chance to convince one person that it was consensual than twelve?

Probably their lawyer recognised that the judge would be sympathetic, whether due to past decisions or comments at dinner parties about poor men’s lives getting ruined by false accusations, and petitioned for it.
Unfortunately, there are plenty of those on the bench.

I loved (and by “loved” mean “my eyes rolled hardest at this point”) when he said he couldn’t tell his wife or deactivate his account because his wife would be devastated and he needs the account for work. In other words, “But that would mean facing consequences!”.

Well his name is out to the public now so his wife most definitely knows.

I hate how the women in these threads are like, “I didn’t want him to get fired. His work was important.” FUCK THAT NOISE. He is a freakin’ creep. There are other good reporters who are aren’t creeps. Maybe the paper can hire one of those.

Yeah. The woman he was a jerk to gave him the chance to let him tell her himself, and he chose not to take it.

Wait… But if it were really an accident, it would be no big deal, right? I mean, his wife or his boss or possibly anybody else in the world would believe that it was just an accident, right?
What an accident, huh. He must really have egg on his face.
Some chance that’s not an accident.
And some chance that’s not egg on his face.
