George Takei Accused of Sexually Assaulting Former Model in 1981

[B2G]

142. Well in my opinion,

we should reserve judgment until the act is admitted to or credible evidence is given.

This is a fair minded response to both the victim and the accused.

What I have seen in these threads, however, is blind allegiance to Takei because he is a liberal and the statements that he is not that type of person (because, why?) There are all sorts of sexual assaulters, some of whom are shocking once discovered.

I've also seen an attempt to marginalize the accuser by saying it was consensual, he was drunk, he is a Republican who is out to smear Takei and that it happened 40 years ago, so why is he just now speaking out.

That is wrong.

Personally, I have no idea if this happened or not. I currently have no reason to doubt either Brunton or Takei. So I will not defend or denigrate either one of them.
