I dunno about this, he seems like he was drunk and gropey, but these women could have slapped his face or told him to bugger off. Doesn’t seem to rise to losing your license.
If he did that to a client, sure.

I am sorry no woman ever allowed you to.
Apparently the Indiana Supreme Court thinks that “drunk and gropey” isn’t trivial.
The attitude that women’s bodies are there for that mauling and that they are on their own to keep unwanted pawing is amazing.
The “unless they were a client” suggests an attitude that intervention for poor customer service is an appropriate use of the legal system, but that physical touching isn’t. That women and their bodies are less important to society than business.

Not what I am saying. If this were a client he would have power over them. If this were a subordinate he would have power over them. It is the power dynamic that makes a touch legal or illegal, to me.
These were coworkers in a party at a bar. This wasn’t in a private corridor or an office. It looks like all of these women didn’t appreciate it and probably let him know. I just don’t know if this rises to the level of losing your Law License. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t.
I don’t know.
LMAO - mate, here in the US my accent is a superpower. Only problem is when I go home to blighty, I walk into a pub and no one cares.
I am far from an adonis and no one will ever confuse me with a greek god but my accent has time and time again reaped its own rewards.
The truth is when us Brits are out and about home grown red blooded Americans dont stand a chance. Its just the way it is.

Sounds as if you are saying they have allowed you to.
If you want to ignore the difference between me as a nobody talking to women in a bar or other setting and Trump using his position of power and wealth to “allow them” then go for it.
Trump is a disgusting reprehensible creep with no moral backbone but thats all good because Trump supporters have convinced themselves that a mans character is of no importance.
How I miss the years when conservatives lectured us on this forum how important military service was to the office of the President. Simpler times!!!

What I read about the incident in the linked article gave me the same gut feel.
What was described seems like standard partying behavior in today’s paradigms. It’s not what I would do personally, not something I’ve EVER done personally. I think today’s grinding, hookup party culture is out of control and over the top. But it is what it is today. And now people who have participated in something like that constantly run the risk of retribution if participants at the party become opponents in other facets of your life.

We don’t know what they appreciated at the time. Who came on to whom.
I’ll say this. The guy is married. And he (at age 59) was apparently hitting on 20-year-old women.
(Or maybe he was just being “affectionate” a la Joe Biden …
)

Power? Sure he used his wealth. Who wouldn’t in a field of gold diggers. What power did he have in a disco?

A man either needs explicit prior consent before grabbing or kissing, or he doesn’t, regardless of his station in life.
