We don’t see eye to eye on this. You defend a sleaze. She DID reject his advances numerous times that night.
You are stronger. Good for you.
Tell those girls who got fingered by their doctor on the Olympic team that they didn’t say no either.
Creep.
But the point remains that she, of her own free will and agency stayed with him and participated, and never said no. How is he supposed to know that taking off your clothes and making out means no, I dont want to make out naked, (and whatever else followed.)
The first link points out that to make the Olympics, a gymnast should begin training as a preschooler. The second link points out that three of the girls were under 13, and others were 13 to 16. As a seven year old I was molested by a man who asked for my help finding a doctor. He said his member was very “feverish” and forced me to touch it. I was terrified because I knew he was not right, but acted very little woman and concerned for his health. I then said, “Well, I must go and ask my mother where you can find a doctor, I’ll be right back.” Then I ran as fast as I could and told my mother (including that he forced me to touch him), but by the time she came the creep was gone. While I have had a normal adult sex life, I have never liked having to touch that, but have done so for the sake of men I loved.
