You keep repeating 'sincerity and honesty' but keep mis-describing what actually happened. This was not 'lean in for a kiss'.

He (rather awkwardly) stayed behind after everyone had left. She went out of her way to be a generous host - offering him a place to stay for the night. He immediately abused that offer by propositioning her. When she asked him to leave, he tried to force himself on her. That's what her story says.

If you don't believe her, have the decency to say so. But stop trying to say it's anything less than a profound abuse of trust instead of misrepresenting it as 'leaning in for a kiss'.

I believe what she wrote, and I believe you do too, which is why we both keep quoting her. I disagree that either of my imagined scenarios are inconsistent with what she wrote. But thanks anyway for trying to answer my questions.
