Not saying who is guilty or who is not.
Just saying that two years after the fact, memories may not be 100% reliable. Not to mention that fact that two people can be in the same room, take part in the same activity, and remember it differently. Especially if alcohol is involved. Person A thinks both parties had a good time. Person B thinks they were taken advantage of.
Lynch could be a bad guy. He could be sexually aggressive with women. But I tend to think he does not see himself as a bad guy. Other people may see him that way. What is the truth? I don't know. and I'm not sure anyone, 2 years after the fact, can really determine the "truth" of the situation. Our memories are clouded by time, our emotions, what other people tell us or suggest to us.
Now, I have my doubts as to the impartiality of the EOAA process. I suspect there is an inherent bias in favor of a female accuser, especially given the whole "me too" movement.
But, I just think it's almost impossible for any group or organization to really know what the truth is. They are making a judgment, based on what evidence they have, but also based on their own experiences, biases, and feelings.
In the end, I think Lynch maybe was right in walking away. he should try to get on with his life, as best as he can.
