Aaron Coleman & his defenders spent this last week saying he hasn't abused a woman since middle school - and that we needed to leave the past in the past. But his ex-girlfriend told me he violently attacked her in Decemberhttps://gen.medium.com/aaron-colemans-ex-girlfriend-says-his-misogynist-abuse-didn-t-stop-in-middle-school-1c82a836a5d8 …

There was no "sexual" component to Coleman's act of cyberbullying at 14, even though it's arguably the worst of his crimes -- someone almost lost her life because of it It was a gendered crime (he picked on her because she was a girl) but there's no indication of a "sex crime"

And yet I'd be far more worried about voting someone who did that into office -- something that, in many jurisdictions, isn't a crime at all! or at least not easily charged as one -- than someone who, as you say, groped somebody ("sexual assault in the 3rd degree") at 13
