Sean King is a decent human and I am telling you that I have spoken to at least 10 YEA employees that said they never saw anything like was alleged go on at YEA. Sean is an honest person and extremely professional and does not deserve to be attacked or worst. Think about it, All of a sudden he is the acting CEO and now his name gets mentioned and credibility questioned. Ask anyone who is close to the situation and they will all tell you different. I am not saying that none of this happened with George and feel for the women but rest assure there is a group behind this that wants to take over YEA and they will stop at nothing. That is a fact. This was very planned out and I am sure this part will all come out in a court of law for a jury to figure out. I am a major donor of The Cadets and I will not support them anymore if they allow Sean to be a victim too. I can't speak for others but I can tell you that a lot of us watching all that is happening are not happy with how they are stopping at nothing and don't care who else they hurt so they can have total control of YEA. You don't hurt innocent people that had nothing to do with this or was even aware. That is a fact that the employees of YEA will tell you that they did not see this behavior at YEA.

Possible. However, the woman said she told Sean King " more than once " of her being uncomfortable around George Hopkins, and according to her GH was sex texting her . It would seem that any boss ( GH , in this case ) that is sex texting a subordinate..presumably away from work.., and another of her bosses ( Sean King ) hears about that... and according to the woman.. she told this " more than once to Sean King " that he perhaps needed to take his subordinate's ( the woman ) account a bit more seriously than stating ( according to her) "... " Oh thats just George, you know how he can be ". But yes, context is everything, and perhaps he was not really listening to this woman's complaints about the sex texting by GH to her, and her being " uncomfortable " at work around GH as carefully as he should have... who knows. Sean King denies she even complained at all to him about the sex texting to her away from work by George Hopkins. Later, according ti her, the texting escalated into physical unwanted advances, then eventually the apparent rape of her by GH. ( Sean King not informed of the later apparent rape of her however by GH, )The Woman here tells the Philly Inquirer her story in a chronological manner... including what she allegedly told Sean King about GH's early on troubling behaviors with her both at work and away from the office.. his account is different than hers, from his remembrance of the conversations, according to the reporter who contacted Sean King for his reply to what she told the reporter . So it seems like the classic case of " He Said.. She Said " it would seem at the moment. Edited April 12, 2018 by BRASSO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are multiple episodes but a different person is told each time you would never see a pattern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and many others at YEA did not see the abuse. Plus a lot of the stories that I read sounds like they were all consensual up until the part where it got out of hand in private. She didn't say she told Sean of the rape, just that she told him about George making crude comments to her. That is a big difference and Sean denies it 100%. I dont want to attack the victim but if she didn't go to the police for being alleged raped then why would she tell Sean about anything else? And if she felt she was being harassed why did she go out drinking with GH and put herself in that situation kowning that he has been harassing her? Does that make any sense at all?

So my question is if you were getting sexually harassed, why in the hell would you go out with him drinking? What am I missing here? If you knew Sean you would know his integrity. This is going to bite them with donors if they hurt Sean. I promise you that. He has great relationships with the donors and they will not stand for this including me. They will not survive this.
