Sexual Assault.

 

[Devout Pessimist]

I guess I'm not seeing what constitutes sexual assault here, would any of these things be enough to charge him with a crime?

Thrush seems to believe he is guilty:

“Over the past several years, I have responded to a succession of personal and health crises by drinking heavily. During that period, I have done things that I am ashamed of, actions that have brought great hurt to my family and friends. I have not taken a drink since June 15, 2017, have resumed counseling and will soon begin outpatient treatment for alcoholism. I am working hard to repair the damage I have done.”

He drunkenly kissed 3 women and tried to bang a woman while married?

This seems to be the least damning high profile case so far.

Don't feel sorry for him at all though.

Not yet, which just means we need to change the law to protect these delicate women. /smh

Married guy hitting on his work mates? Naw, I can't think of a single reason that he'd feel guilty and make that statement.
