Honor the facts please. First Minsky was approached by Guiffre at the island, and Minsky turned her down. Guiffre was already 18 at that time according to one statement. So both accusations on Minsky needed to be defended, which RMS did.

There was no sex, no rape, no violation of age of consent, just a lot of slanderous allegations by folks who had no idea about the background, and didn't read about it.

On the other hand the students allegations on their Facebook event had a proper basis, against MIT management. But this had nothing to do with RMS defense of Minsky.
