Caporegime
I don't doubt that he might not remember something. I've been pretty drunk on occasion in my past.
Those are credible reasons for why someone would not remember it, but his statement would simply then by summed up as, "I don't remember doing it, but it sounds like something I would do" which is pretty damning in itself and lends credence to the accuser.
So with Spacey implying it's something he would do in one hand, and the accusation in the other Spacey's statement is what lends me to believe his guilt. He indicts himself in the way no mere accusation can.
I would have to suspend my disbelief to believe his statement though, people just don't make statements like that apologising when they have any doubt they might be guilty.
False memory is a matter entirely unrelated to Spacey's credibility however.
Ms Maltby, a writer and academic some 30 years younger than Mr Green, said he sent her the text message after she posed in a corset for the Times.
The accusation against Damian Green today is an embarrassment to the accuser.

This is well and truly out of hand.
Seriously, buy a magazine and spend some time by yourself, get it out of your system.Did anyone see the nonce finder general Tom Watson pontificating on sexual harassment in the Commons yesterday? Who the hell was the bint in the short skirt and fishnets with her boobs hanging out of a low cut top filmed just behind him, adding some more Beny Hill `esque comedy to the show?
It shouldn't do. If he's innocent then his choices were extremely limited because he's presumed guilty as that's now the custom.
1) Say that the incident never happened. Since he's presumed guilty, he'd then be villified even more for victim-blaming, harassment, trivialising sexual assault, re-victimising the victim, etc, etc.
2) Say what he said: that he has no memory of the incident but that he apologises anyway for any offence caused.
Neither would help because he's presumed guilty, but the second option is arguably less bad.
What could he have done that would not have raised your suspicions?

Did you see it? I was quite amusing. Maybe she's looking for some harassment...*

* No I am not suggesting it is ok to sexually assault a woman because of how she's dressed. But really, is this the norm for Westminster these days?

So you think this is the correct image for the UK Parliament to project to the world, some bint looking like a two bit hooker portrayed by TV camera to the world stage whilst the Commons debates harassment? The floosie should never have been allowed in the chamber dressed like that
Looks quite well dressed to me. Certainly nothing to raise eyebrows over.
My wife often wears dresses, fishnets and boots to work, shes a lawyer. I dont mind.
What the hell are you talking about? I can literally see a thigh covered with tights and a bit of cleavage.
You are the very definition of a misogynist calling a woman a "bint" "hooker" and "floosie" - You don't even know anything about her.
I have seen these dress sense rebelling young women solicitors, (and some male ones who look more like college lecturers), a trend of the last few years, I am not sure it does any favours to the image of the legal profession But as I would never contemplate employing a female advocate I suppose I am being disingenuous again
A single accusation against Spacey and the internet explodes - multiple and many against the President (Trump) and it's all swept under the carpet......
Amazing what you can do as the "most powerful man in the world"
It's official guys, you aren't allowed to complement a woman on her looks or ask her out for a drink, even if you're familiar with her. It's rapey
