U.S. Senator acused of sexual assault...breaking

[seldomseen]

Men in power seem to have a hard time behaving. In Canada who knows but I wouldn't expect any scandals in Harpers background but then I wouldn't have expected any in John Diefenbaker background either.

wheelie, "There will be some here in saskatxhewan I m sure."

You mean like the NDPer ! ???

BTW, who are you using your member vote on wheelie, Trent or Ryan?

High profile people and men in power often have money to go with it. They'll pay off accusers whether something wrong was done or not. It's called "hush money" and has been around forever. The accusers may have thought it was a nice bundle of money, to the payer, it was a drop in the bucket.
Also you have to remember now, that young female college students(for the last 10 yrs or so) have been told that even if they consent the night before to sex,,,, the next morning,,,, if they don't feel good about what happened, they can then make a sexual assault accusation. Anyone with college aged boys should know this.

This is not a partisan issue.

The only reason we are hearing more about it is more women are coming forward because they feel more comfortable talking about it after Harvey Weinstein.

Sexual harassment and assault is a wide spread problem. It happens everywhere and most women experience it in some form. Most incidents are not reported. Some men report it too.

Remember Graham James the hockey coach, convicted sex offender. He abused Theron Fleury and Sheldon Kennedy and likely others.

Lots of organizations like the catholic church, boys scouts, and the military have harbored sexual offenders and resisted change and action.

Trump, Clinton.....there will be more and more high profile cases especially in high profile things like politics, entertainment, sports.

Behavior and attitudes need to change.

Trent or Ryan who???? Is that the new Sk party boys replacing your bad news billy and weeping Wally. Hahaha

[SASKFARMER3]

Lots and lots are coming out of the woodworks. Lots

So if you look at the picture he s doings comedy act on the ship or where ever it was she s in body armour and someone is filming his movement through the ship. Inappropriate yes immature yes sexual molestation??? You could now accuse any comedian who does stand up of molestation likely. He rest of her story is like any other woman making a claim believe it or don't believe it. So not sure if this is as big as some want it to be. Considering frankin recently caught sessions totally lying about the Russians.

Hahahaha

Back in my day harass was 2 words, who on here can say they haven't whined and cajoled to get a little action, from girlfriend, wife, and boyfriend I guess. The problem is no one knows the lines between asking and harassing. How many girls dropped their drawers to get job, part, promotion, and then thought that didn't pay as well as I thought. There was an interview with some NHL players and were asked if they would take a birth control pill if available and they were 100% in favour of not leaving it up to the female to take precautions. **** used to be **** and asking someone to go out with you 4 times was persistent now its a crime.

This sex assault news is getting very tiring. I'm not sure what to think.
