What is rape or assault?
At what point on a date can you take your dick out and use it without fear of being called a rapist?
I read the HR article. Noth was never told clearly "NO" by his accusers. It sounds to me like he just was aggressive and forward, which can be part of perfectly legitimate sex.
He is a celebrity, looked good and had charm, and his "victims" liked him and were going along with it. But afterwards they regretted the whole deal.
To make sure they wanted it too, was he supposed to pull out pen and paper and ask for a signed agreement?
