it’s entirely possible that she just strolled into some dude’s house when he wasn’t expecting it. And if that’s the case, he was the one who was assaulted.

That's an idiotic take considering he ordered a service where someone has to meet with you..... Especially considering that all of these services tell you exactly when and where the person is. Meaning he initiated a contact.

point is simply that we can’t know what happened, because none of us were there. So to simply open by stating that she was assaulted is inherently biased.

We're not in adjudicating a court case, we're just interpreting someone's accounts. If we are assuming that they are being honest, then what they described was a sexual assault.

Besides that, I wasn't commenting we there the story was accurate . I was commenting on the misconception the person had that sexual assault was to be physical in nature.

Again.... Why are we falling over ourselves to defend this guy?

But if he genuinely wasn’t expecting someone to let themselves into his house, (because honestly, why would anyone think that’s okay to do?) then he’s actually the victim here.

Again, pretty difficult to argue that case considering that he ordered a service where a person has to come to your house and have a face to face interaction. Do you often get undressed with your front door open?

Still a monumentally stupid move on the driver’s part, (because seriously, why would you ever enter someone’s home while making a delivery?)

Again we are blaming the victim here.
