The absence of any legal proceedings, criminal or civil, seems rather a big data point. Lots of people are willing to throw stones, nobody is willing to face a potential perjury charge or countersuit. Maybe nobody was actually harmed, beyond hurt feelings.
I don't know what the truth is. Just to play devil's advocate, lack of proceedings might mean out of court deal (I don't believe this is the case).
Any male geek person with Our Mr. Applebaum's "celebrity" status who is also (in my heteronormative radical queer opinion) good looking, is very likely to avail himself of the sexual perquisites of social prestige.
Well, feds/nsa are known to use ladies to seduce people and then blackmail them (probably this is since ancient times). Isn't this very close to Assange's charges in Sweden? They look quite made up to me. Are most activists rapists? This appears highly unlikely to me. According to The Guardian, Applebaum was accused of "emotional abuse". WTF is "emotional abuse"? Calling a bitch "bitch"? @juan will get death sentence for "emotional abuse" just from this list, I suspect.
