Why am I not surprised? I am not waiting for a saviour. I am a survivor who follows my own inner voice.

Because that twists what he said in a direction that doesn't correspond to his statment.

He says nothing was inappropriate. The woman herself says it was a “brief touch” that would not classify as a sexual assault. So basically a bunch of twenty-somethings where standing around drinking beer and he briefly touched her. That doesn’t sound like anything someone needs to survive. These bullshit stories will only cause backlash and hurt those who are truly victims.

I think this will be resolved amicably. He is a decent man and I admire him for his leadership and
honesty.
