Tor developer Jacob Appelbaum quits after â??sexual mistreatmentâ? allegations | Ars Technica

Quote:

Tor Project officials say that one of their most public-facing developers and a member of the "Core Team," Jacob Appelbaum, left the organization on May 25 after "public allegations of sexual mistreatment."

Quote:

These types of allegations were not entirely new to everybody at Tor; they were consistent with rumors some of us had been hearing for some time. That said, the most recent allegations are much more serious and concrete than anything we had heard previously.

We are deeply troubled by these accounts.

We do not know exactly what happened here. We don't have all the facts, and we are undertaking several actions to determine them as best as possible. We're also not an investigatory body, and we are uncomfortable making judgments about people's private behaviors.

Damn that came out of left field. Great find! Maybe the long distance thing with Edward Snowden was too much? I wonder where he'll go next?

He is denying it. Who knows who is telling the truth. But I can see people trying to set him up. He has pissed off many people.

I want to be clear: the accusations of criminal sexual misconduct against me are entirely false

Quote:

In the past few days, a calculated and targeted attack has been launched to spread vicious and spurious allegations against me.

I found TOR's disclosure odd, admitting his misconduct had been known for some time and were nothing new to everybody , then they state they are uncomfortable making judgements about his private behaviors, but then they say Tor is "working with a legal firm" specializing in sexual misconduct

So everyone knew about it and was ok with it until someone used it to force him out with a legal firm they hired, but it was his private behavior and they don't want to judge him for it.

Forcing him out for alleged behavior, that they state they don't have all the facts for, is being judge & jury.

Am I interpreting that correctly?

Sounds dodgy

very interesting....either someone exploited his weak points to damage his reputation and Tor's reputation or he expolited his weak points.... by himself ;-)

well, I digged into that case a little further and unfortunately these claims seem to be legit.

Jake Appelbaum is not only briliant advocate of privacy, free spech, anonymity, government accountability and so on...but also a sexual maniac and sex addict that hurted and confused many people in the community that he is engaged.......
