This is the painted lie that her company allowed him to make: http://objo.com/2013/01/31/funemployment/

This is the reality. I don't hold too much optimism that the police would somehow solve this problem considering the damage done and the lack of any support to go back to.

THERE WERE TWO WITNESSES. His blog post is irrelevant to his guilt or innocence based on a blog post of another individual.

Two witnesses is pretty clear cut. It's called 'corroboration', you should look it up and learn something perhaps!

The problem is what did they witness? A girl doing a bodyshot, followed by the man who took the shot kissing her and getting hands on. In this post I don't see anything indicating she tried to reject these moves.

I don't see how somebody could tell it was unwanted from a third person perspective.

> The executive's posture and actions aggressive; "no" was not a possibility. She was visibly upset and shut down. That's an understatement. I saw somebody trapped in a nightmare, in public. That freeze frame is burned into my brain.

By "getting hands on" to be clear you are referring to his fondling her backside and front. Just to be clear, what those witness saw was molestation in progress.

Thank god one of them gave her a chance to escape. Thank god there was one person not like you there.

Now that is clearly uncalled for. I wasn't there, I have no idea how I would have reacted and neither do you. I am responding to what was written in the account.
Read this slowly, you can do it-- you're good at reading:

It should be expected not that victims live up to another's definition of responsibility, but that people be responsible enough not to create victims.

It was at the bar, so I would also assume there would be CCTV.
Very few bars have CCTV. Maybe nice ones do. I would also imagine that those that do have them pointed at the bar, alcohol and registers, to be able to pinpoint the cause of high alcohol costs.
