So the minister for defense has resigned over making a pass at a journalist and touching her knee. This it seems is sexual assault. WTF. What we don't know is how the woman concerned was behaving, but being a journalist after a story no doubt she was being very nice and perhaps flirtatious and so messages could quite easily get mixed. He got the wrong message, made an awkward pass and touched (oh my god) her knee. For this his life has been destroyed.

I'm a gay man. I see both sides equally. But this is pathetic. There's a huge difference between getting gang raped in a field, or having your tits groped by someone on a train and a man making a clumsy pass. A huge number of relationships begin this way.

He tried it on, she said no. End of story. But it's not - now his life is in shreds. Holy crap.
