Simplest answer is usually the best: probably because he hasn’t spent 17 years re-evaluating his actions and coming to more enlightened conclusions about consent. He thinks what happened *to him* was bad — that the accusation and trial and appeal were horrible times in his life — but still doesn’t think they did… Read more

Why can’t people like this just say, “I had misconstrued ideas about consent 17 years ago and I fucked up big time. I was also an arrogant little shit head.
