(4,558 posts)First, according to him, they only had 2 drinks when they got back to Georges place. They went out for dinner and theater. Were those the only drinks they had that night? The article doesn't say, but I'd be surprised if those were the only 2 drinks.
If you've never gone out, had drinks with someone, gone back to their place and had a couple more and have crystal clear memory of every single detail's with no black spots in there. I congratulate you. Wish I could claim the same.
The article also doesn't say, but really.. 1981.. famous actor.. young aspiring actor.. a night on the town, and a night cap back at Georges place.. 2 alcohol drinks at the very end is the only fun time substance partaken of? Possible, but really?
Did George snuggle up with him, and in his hazy state did he respond positively? Possible he just doesn't remember it?
It is very possible he was at least partially responsive during the period he doesn't remember, and the fact that George was quick to respond positively when he did get his moment of clarity is more than enough in my mind to give the benefit of the doubt.
If those 2 drinks really was it, and if George drugged him, and if he was completely passed out, or if George kept pressing on after he said no then yes it 100% was sexual assault.
Hell, if going back to a mans place after a night out, and not remembering all that happened is all it takes to claim sexual assault, I've been sexually assaulted dozens of times in the late 80's and early 90's. Hell, back in those years, if I'd gone back to a mans home for a "nightcap" and he didn't put the moves on me I'd have been a hell of a lot more surprised.
