This is rape is it not? Whoever this guy is, in my opinion this case should get in front of the judges. I can't imagine what the author of the story have gone through.

I have no clue on who this guy is nor do I have any sort of interest in Scala but this is terrible.

If this is even remotely true I hope he suffers enormous consequences including being persecuted.

How are people still getting away with this kind of abuse? How?

Rape is doing it, not insisting, I think.

Read the comments in this thread six hours from now and you'll understand.

Insisting could mean doing it in this context. English is weird.

first, a small rant: tbf. I dislike the title. the real title is sexual harassment from Jon Pretty a leader of certain Scala Community standups.

because the current title actually sounds like it's the whole commnity, but the blog is about a specific guy.

second I really do not understand, how other people can be so horrible. he basically abused her in a moment where she was really really desperate and I think such a thing is really really bad.
