It is clear that "trying it on" which was fine a few years ago is now considered abuse and assault by many intelligent and honourable people. But the question is - should "trying it on" back then, when it was considered at worst rude, bad manners, abuse of position and not cricket should also now be regarded as serious assault? If so, the laws in the United States need changing to reflect that (as they do in the UK and Australia). And the laws of evidence likewise (one person's word alone is not evidence in most of the world). Ditto the statutes of limitations. Now many will disagree with altering the law to reflect our British laws and feel that we have got it wrong over here. Let us see how the US adapts things now they have a President who very much reflects that attitude (some may say unwisely, judging by his own past behaviour). So the question is - will Trump change the laws protecting him from prison? Will he accept that, as in the Weinstein case, some women may be telling the truth and deserve "closure" (plus cash)? In which case - how about all those women complaining about The Donald? And could boasting on a bus be considered evidence of Vile Perversion? If so, welcome to Alcatraz, Mr President!
