With just a little bit of googling, the guy's married and has a kid. Even if it was a 'mutually abusive situation', what kind of guy steps out on his wife? Especially after she just gave birth to their daughter in the last 18 months? The guy's integrity is blown at that point, so it's all downhill from there. Now, add to the situation that the girl's property was found in the guy's room? He's a cheating husband AND a thief at least. Not the best position to be in when it comes to establishing credibility.
As for the girl, she's a single lady and what does she gain by publishing her side of the story? I just don't see why there's so much skepticism on this forum about what's going on.
The bigger issue here, the number of women getting harassed at conferences is increasing at a number of different venues.

Until it is clear that this type of behavior is unacceptable and there are consequences for their behavior, cads like Gont will continue to think they don't have to be accountable for their actions while they are traveling.
