Did anyone else watch this? What I got from it was that he was clearly a bullying sleazeball who pushed it but drew back from actually forcing it. I got the impression that if you confidently refused you wouldn't be forced and that he conveniently perceived women who cracked under the pressure as consenting. I hope he gets what he deserves and that more women are empowered to not have a default setting of trying to be nice in these sort of situations. I also found it a bit disingenuous that no-one mentioned "casting couch" as if it didn't exist. That was just my take, open to being re-educated.

Annabella Sciorra, who is not an accuser but a key witness, described at the trial a few days ago how he pushed open her apartment door, then threw her on the bed and pinned her hands above her head and raped her.

How 'confident' do you think you might be if someone followed you up to your flat, pushed open the door, came in and started undressing?
