Hmmm... that blogger article makes him seem aggressive and creepy (probably makes her look just as bad imo) but the star article is way more damning and starts to form a body of evidence.
The one thing that made me wonder was that the article says that the accusers didn't previous come forward because there was some sort of acceptance of fantasy role play in text messages that might appear to be evidence of consent. That makes it sound a little more unclear to me. It seems like there is a pattern of behavior that most are going to find creepy, but is he actually going to get charged with anything?
Jian's going to be in some hot water needless to say but I think the CBC could be in trouble too if he doesn't get convicted of anything....
In house legal council tend to be generalists imo who are just OK at most stuff but not great at anything and you'd hope they went out to some sort of specialist in labor law because 50 mil of taxpayer money for this crap would be ridiculous and with this limited info it sounds like pretty shaky ground. Wonder why they wouldn't have just kept him on leave and waited.
