> Such statements should not be taken as factual confessions

What does this even mean? Don't apologize for coercing people to have sex if you didn't do that.

I think the comment is pretty clear in its meaning. Do you really not understand it?

No I don't understand. The author published a written apology, and has said nothing about it not being sincere, what shouldn't be taken as "factual".

There is a very big difference between not taking his apology as truthful and other people distorting what he said ie; people equating apologizing for "pressuring someone to have sex" as the same thing as apologizing for rape.

Ok, so you do understand the comment. You just don't agree with it.
