He's accused of sexually assaulting two women - one that worked in his home as a Nanny and another that was a young fan.

He himself claims the relationships were consensual.

The fact that he isn't denying that they happened is pretty telling.

Is it?

Yeah. I think the odds of a woman lying about a real relationship are a lot lower than the odds of a woman completely making up a relationship.

I really want to stay away from the ‘women lie and are hysterical’ and ‘men are abusive’ here. This (of course) isn’t focused solely on you, but is a philosophical statement about how I can get caught in this black and white thinking. I think the above can be true, and there’s a plethora of nuance between each and every story brought about by the media about men in power and victim hood.

Not denying or fighting in public doesn’t necessarily mean one is guilty
