Interesting reading. I personally don't like the way the story is told. Seems biased towards presenting only the salacious side of the story and portraying only him as the wrongdoer. I'd like to know the background of the accuser, and also how Equinox ended up hiring that guy without a background check (or hiring him anyway after a background check).

Wow. But get this. I've heard some groups allow sex offenders become teachers, or businessmen, or even clergy.

One of my dearest friends was a "sex offender". He was arrested for performing in a drag show in a gay bar in 1971. They printed his name in the paper to shame him. A real paper, not that trashy blog.

I remember the raids. Good men had their lives ruined by articles like that. Sleazy. Salacious. Cruel.  

The customer who complained sounds like a creep.
