What happened to George Takei’s sexual assault allegations?

the accuser has since admitted it wasn’t true after people started picking apart his story and finding inconsistencies. george takei has forgiven him.

unfortunately, with every movement, there is a chance for a liar to try to join. i feel terrible, because i initially believed it.

This

is the direct link to the interview and report from the Observer
mentioned there, it goes in dept to take as much info from many accounts
to find what could possibly have happened, and in particular it digs
deep into things consulting both toxicologists that know about what
types of rape drugs existed back then with their symptoms and historians
that know about how gay culture was in the US was during and before the
80′s.

Long story short, basically he admits that Takei stopped
his advances the moment he told him he didn’t want to and that during
all these years he only thought he might’ve been drugged very very
recently because of the rest of the sexual accusations made him cast a
doubt about how he used to tell this story to friends, as a more casual
meeting that happened rather than a rape case, the drug aspect of the
story is very recent but is also something that toxicologists say would’ve been quite unlikely
because of how fast the accuser himself says he recovered on the spot
and even able to drive back home without the next day symptomps rape
drugs of that era were known to give.

On the hand of historians they dissect about what things were expected behavior during a gay date back in early 80′s and since there was an age gap (accuser was 24), meaning a cultural gap too, there might’ve been a misreading on behaviors on each part, but the accuser does say Takei stopped his advances once he got told to even if he was too forward for him at first.
Mind you the professionals questioned were offered the stories as annonymous hiding both names so there was no bias present when analysing them.

In any case I recommend the full read since it offers a lot of insight about it.

thank you for elaborating on this
