George Takei Accused of Sexually Assaulting Former Model in 1981

[Amimnoch]

44. Giving the benefit of the doubt.

23 years old at the time, so a minor isn't involved.

Initially met up at a gay bar, exchanged numbers and had ongoing contact for some time.

On the night accepted an invitation from George for dinner and theater. Went out with George.

Accepted the invitation from George to go back to his place for a nightcap.

George did make a move on him, he told George he didn't want to do this, and George stopped, and he left.

FFS, In 1986 I turned 15 and started getting sexually active. Being gay in 1986 as a teenager was SOOOOO not like being a gay teenager today. There were no networks of support or information. There was no social media where I could meet and talk about things with others like me. I was pretty much on my own to deal with and figure it out. I read this and can't help but think.. DAMN, I wish I'd met just a few gentlemen in the late 80's like George who got the "no means no" mentality. Although to be totally honest, saying no during that period wasn't exactly my strong point.
