This is the best advice on this thread. If you bring it up to anyone at that company, you can forget the job.

And for all you know this man was set up. Look at what happened at Duke in NC just as an example, the woman made it all up. But that didn't prevent the lives of those young men from being destroyed.

If you accept the position keep the relationship very professional and avoid situations where he and you are alone. Find out if you will be expected to travel with him, if so stay in different hotels or bring along a family member. The latter may take some planning but you can frame it as protecting his reputation.

In all honesty there are some men who really don't care, they need a woman who affirms their masculinity and they do not respect lines. If you feel that he is on the make then plan an exit stage left, so to speak.

i never said i knew he was guilty! but the fact that it was settled out of court (after the company publicly stated that they would be taking it to court) does make it more likely that he was.

No, it doesn't, even though that is a common perception.

ok, whatever. the point is it's possible that it's true, at least just as much as it's possible that it's not true. i mean, the possibility of him being innocent is why the idea of asking about it occurred to me for even a second.

note that i addressed this in my first post, anyway:

the case was settled out of court, so there's no way to know if the claim was true or not.

Don't ask about it at all. Just be very cautious when around him. If you ask about it, they will view you as trouble and not worth it.

He may or may not be guilty. Just because he settled doesn't mean he's guilty. If there is a risk of a lengthy trial and possible image issues, it may be cheaper to settle and get it over with.
