haven't read the entire blog series, but just the introduction alone is totally nuts. The man was clearly railroaded, and nobody seemed to care.

Sounds like the Trevor Bauer situation. That shite is infuriating. Went from NL Cy Young winner on the cusp of being one of the best pitchers in baseball to getting falsely accused of sexual assault and getting kicked out of the MLB before landing in the Nippon League.

There are some real fricking psychopathic bitches out there.

She made the shite up. You can read their text messages to each other.

It looks like she was far more invested in the relationship than he was, and it also appears she was frequently looking for ways for him to cover her expenses.

Of all the text messages, this is the only one that could potentially be misconstrued. However, the phrase “began questionably” is vague and could mean many things especially given that she later explicitly states that the encounter was consensual and that she enjoyed it.

feel like bawling my eyes out. I actually want to see you when you're back, and have expressed that to amanda. I am hurt because of my past but I have no hard feelings at ALL. Does that make sense? I
think you're a wonderful person, and a friend. I would never "me too" you {I don't know where that came from) and I have told Amanda that even though it began questionably eventually it was undoubtedly consensual and I enjoyed it. Heart is pounding too. Neil - I am so deeply sorry to hear how TERRIFYING this has been for you. I feel like I am being headfricked. I am so, so shocked.
