Personally I am bit uncomfortable simply calling him a rapist as if it is a confirmed fact. He was not found guilty by a court and maintained he believed it was consensual.
Exactly. I don't know enough about the whole thing to truly have an opinion but nothing I've seen or remember would make me say 100% he is a rapist. That's a strong allegation. Plus I imagine the actual situation was complicated. Could possibly be a situation where no woman has ever turned down his advances and this woman wanted no part of that but he didn't read the signals correct. Him apologizing doesn't sound like an omission of guilt but more just trying to say the right thing now that they are settling. I think intent obviously matters big time when calling someone a rapist.
