Another #metoo claim that ruined a guy's life has been debunked

Signore was first accused of sexual assault by a woman named April O’Donnell, aka April Dawn. She first accused Signore of assault in October of 2017. She followed up her initial accusation with a detailed statement (Archive link: https://archive.is/anqWQ) claiming that Signore had tried “to force himself on me,” “took photos of me without my permission,” and that he “used my relationship with [Screen Junkies Employee Jack “JTE” Tapia] against me.”

Rather than tricking O’Donnell with a ‘fake’ Screen Junkies party and forcing himself on her, Signore presents verified communications showing that Signore proposed altering their plans to meet in his room, with O’Donnell aware and in agreement with the change of plans. Signore states that no sexual activity had taken place that night, as he was “too nervous to make a move,” also noting that O’Donnell later informed Signore she had “a lot of fun” when they spent time together in the hotel room. Signore also vehemently denies that a sex toy was ever part of their activities.
While O’Donnell claims that Signore took pictures of her without permission, Signore presents e-mails exchanged between the two which show that O’Donnell had not only been the one sending him explicit photos, but that she also had, unprompted by Signore, instigated this exchange.
Though O’Donnell claims that Signore threatened to fire her boyfriend, JTE, in retribution, Signore presents correspondence showing that Signore was instead approving and supportive of the then-newly budding relationship.
