@The Human Q-Tip I get what you are saying but I think you are being too harsh on the victims. Hey aren’t the ones who assaulted people but you are blaming them instead of the person who assaulted them.
It’s difficult enough to be the victim of sexual harassment or assault. You want the victim to put their career on the line in a he said/she said situation where the other person has major power. The fact that there are so many victims, none of which went public, shows just how difficult it is to come forward.
I don’t blame the victims, if anything I blame the other people who knew he was like this and didn’t do anything or say anything.
I have personal experience with this. Someone I know was sexually abused over multiple years and said nothing because of serious threats threat went well beyond threatening a career the abuser made if they told. Turns out other people knew for decades that the abuser was molesting people and kept it to themselves.
