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.  

Let’s not unintentionally blame the victim

My question is, why would you ask this in an open forum which doesn't involve interaction with the victim at all? What do you feel like your role is here?

.  She didn't say she told Sean of the rape, just that she told him about George making crude comments to her.     

 This is partially accurate read of the reporter's interview with the women.  However, according to her, she was early on in her employment there at YEA and was receiving sex texting from George Hopkins as well. She says she did not tell Sean King of the later rape of her by GH, but she tells the reporter of her feeling uncomfortable at work around GH early in her employ there, and the sex texting from GH she was receiving ( this part denied by Sean King, according to the reporter ). She states she told Sean King, her boss then, more than once of her being uncomfortable there at work around George Hopkins.  She was 22 years old at the time, ( former Cadet marcher ) and had just just started working there in the YEA office, according to the women's interview with the Philly Inquirer reporter.

Sean King is an honorable man who was also under the control of GH.  They had no human resource department or any way of addressing abuse.  Sean was an employee like her.  He had no power to do anything even if he was told which I believe him that she did not tell him.  George micro managed everyone there and controlled the board.

An individual corps is one thing but DCA did nothing in 2013 after it was reported that a lifetime registered sex offender was identified and marching in one of the corps. Seen the individual marching on the Navy Marine Corps field in Annapolis. 

Well I’m not defending DCA admin. You know my thoughts on that subject
