      With powerful people, you can not take them at their words. They should only be judged on their actions.

    Over the years I've heard whispers of similar stories about Schmidt online, but they always seemed to disappear really fast, like they slip right down the memory hole.

    It will be interesting to see if this one sticks or not.

    Accusing a former Google CEO of spying on you sounds funny in a way..

    I don't understand why the accuser is depicted first in a bikini, then in a dress with a lot of exposed skin, while Schmidt is shown in a suit. Ritter has plenty of professional photos that they could have used, or I'm sure they could have found a casual photo of Schmidt.

    The pictures are completely unnecessary, they distract from the allegations and evidence, which are what really matter. It feels like The New York Post is doing this deliberately for sensationalistic purposes.

      Isn't this par for the course for the New York Post? I hear that name and think trashy tabloid.

      To get folks riled up. Does it bolster her claims? No. But it does work on smooth brains.

    Why are accusations always made into headlines with all of the comments replying as if it for sure actually happened?

    Report a rape within days of it happening when police can collect evidence, not 4 years after.

      Statute of limitations for reporting should be 1 year maximum.

    I usually don't comment on stories like this but this guy needs to get a grip. He's constantly hooking up with women who are 40 or 50 years younger than him. C'mon man.

      Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. If you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test.

      What’s wrong with that exactly?

        He doesn't seem to get along with young women....that's just my assumption.

          "I usually don't comment on stories like this..."
        I humbly suggest you revert the commit that changed your policy.

          "women needs to get a grip... men who are 40 or 50 years older"
        Because all men 40 or 50 years older than her are rapist? We should really just put them in jail! Or is it because women in their 20s shouldn't have the right to date older men without assuming they are going to get raped?

        Wild idea: every adult should be able to date every other adult without having to do rape calculus.

      Have you read the article? Look at the timeline again.

        Ms Ritter alleged that the billionaire raped her on a yacht in November 2021.

        So it only took 4 years for her to decide she was raped?

        In the meantime, she had an ongoing relationship with her rapist.

        Sorry, it doesn't add up as being totally credible to me.

          For others it took 16 years and a "specialized" lawyer. It's funny what the sound of money can do.
