These weren’t random women. They were both involved in his business. One was an employee. You can never be say confidently that an employee consented. It’s the nature of the power dynamic. That’s why this is so serious.

I think it's interesting that these affairs came up without an ounce of blame. Shouldn't there be at least a whiff of coercion/#metoo if that had actually happened? Because it could also be the opposite: these employees threw themselves at the big boss for favours/brag rights. And there's also still the possibility that it was just harmless attraction for all involved (well, possibly not as harmless for the wife, but still, who knows).

If Jenson used his power to pressure them to consent then there is an issue. The board should ask them rather than speculate. If the issue is that no one can consent if there is an imbalance of power, then most heterosexual relationships are a problem just from sexual dimorphism, because implications.

I don’t know if billionaire pedophiles raping trafficked teenagers is a better power dynamic than affairs with consenting adults that you employ.

What do I know, I’ve never done either? I would say that the pedophiles are a more serious power dynamic issue, but you are entitled to pick the other side of the issue, I guess.

Let's try prosecuting the Epstein class instead of redacting so hard "don't" is hidden while victim names are exposed.

And private company boards can sort out the non-criminal matters themselves.
