Has YEA published any investigational findings on the accusations against Hopkins? 

I believe this is what they had done.

YEA has run investigations, and some District attorneys are rumored to be as well.

 

and no, i can't imagine he'd ever admit to any of it 

Agreed. It would amount to self incrimination, and that's pretty foolish, especially in his situation. Make the DA's job a lot, lot easier in front of any jury.

I haven't really kept up with all this. Can you post info regarding Hopkins admitting any of these accusations? Has YEA done an investigation? 

In the paper... we admitted to a "consensual" relationship with one of the members. Rule #1 DFTK. That is enough right there for any group to take action.

If it were discovered in 2018 that 35 years ago there was a consensual relationship between a 20-something staff member and a 21 year old corps member, it would not have been headlines. From what I have heard back in the 80’s this was unfortunately not such a rare occurrence. The revelations would have been embarrassing but it would pass as a “youthful indiscretion”. I’m not condoning this, it’s just an observation on what does and does not grab attention and how people react.

What made this national news - and rightly so - was the allegations of non-consensual activity (assault) and the fact that the accusations span a 20+ year period. That’s an alleged pattern of abuse that would have been news even in a pre-Harvey Weinstein world. All this - the assault part that made it news - has so far been categorically denied. At the moment it’s he-said/they-said. The investigations will hopefully reveal more - especially if the DA decides to bring charges. But that’s where things stand right now.

A minor cannot give consent. Next question?

Where does it say "minor"? Your post said "member".
