Yes, of course grabbing a person’s genitalia in a nonconsensual manner is a crime, ranging anywhere from battery to criminal sexual assault, according to the state. You guys…. I was addressing his vocabulary, not any of his actions, alleged or not. For him to say he likes to do XYZ to whom ever is not a crime.

I went back and re-read it, and while it could technically go either way, it reads as more likely you were referring to the act, not his making the statement, even if you didn’t mean it that way in your head. You can see how looks that way, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m hanging out with friends at a bar and I say, I’d like to XYZ (fill in the details?) I haven’t committed a crime simply by describing an act or action I haven’t taken. That Trump said these things is despicable but it is not a crime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget about the law or whether there is a provable crime for a second - do you give him the benefit of the doubt in that you don't think what he said happened... happened?

Do you honestly think all this is nothing more that bluster and hearsay? Well, to be fair, to 1776’s point, so far, there is nothing more than a video account with no corroborating evidence. In any event, there has already been a court judgment against him in a sexual assault case, so even as an accusation, it’s not a good look for him, because it’s so god damned likely.

Do you honestly think all this is nothing more that bluster and hearsay? I know there isn't a video of the guy engaged in what he was vividly describing on the bus and will likely never be one.... but the fact that he was vividly describing it (in detail) on the bus in the first place tells me suggests to me that it happened. I'm not a lawyer, but as a political matter, it's absolutely fair game for people to hold him to account for it and make their judgment on him based on the matter Edited October 26 by mtutiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So then, since most sexual assaults, rape, etc., are not done with any witnesses, if they don’t leave any DNA residue behind there can never be a guilty verdict? because an eyewitness, meaning the victim themselves, can positively ID the person, this can never meet the burden of proof? do you honestly believe that?

It has nothing to do with values. Defending a known sexual assaultist, one who has bragged about doing so, yeah, that is about values. You are giving the benefit of the doubt to someone that deserves none. This is a forum, not a court of law, so whether it is ever proven isn’t the issue. It’s who you choose to defend and excuse. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
