Lawsuit: Sexual harassment ‘victim’ was San Francisco business rival in disguise

We don't know if there's an "incident like this". This is alleged by one side in a lawsuit. Hasn't been proven. I would still give the victim in this instance the benefit of the doubt.

Edit: why is it all about "accusation is not the same as guilt" when a supposed anonymous woman accuses man A, but when man A accuses man B of staging the whole thing, HN believes it 100%? I apologize to fragile HN readers who see me saying we have courts to figure out these things, that HN is not a courtroom, and they get offended and downvote me.

Without reading the OP, all we knew about the alleged victim is they are an anonymous blogger making claims of sexual harassment against Uzzaman.

Having read the OP, we now have actual evidence submitted to a court of law, in the form of Comcast resolving the IP of the "anonymous blogger" to the home of Brandon Katayama Hill, a business rival of Uzzaman's.

I'm not sure what doubt is left to give to the "anonymous blogger" -- unless you are thinking either the evidence submitted to the court is fabricated (a felony) or somehow an actual anonymous woman who was harassed by Uzzaman just happened to blog about it from Hill's IP address?!

The victim in this case is Uzzaman.

Moral of the story -- be highly suspicious of anything claimed by anonymous bloggers (or, by the way, anonymous sources).
