A good person can still do something awful.
In this excerpt from a sexual assault prevention workshop, the speaker confronts the common belief that “good” people would never commit sexual misconduct. Using a hypothetical scenario with characters Jesse and Erin, the speaker asks the audience to rate the odds that Jesse would attempt a sexual act when alone with an intoxicated Erin, revealing that most people estimate a 90‑99% likelihood. The speaker then highlights how perpetrators often justify their actions by blaming the victim’s intoxication, arguing that if the victim had not been drunk they would not have been vulnerable. The speaker refutes this reasoning, emphasizing that intoxication does not excuse assault and that the responsibility lies with the perpetrator, not the victim. The segment serves to challenge assumptions about perpetrator character, expose flawed victim‑blaming logic, and encourage vigilance in preventing sexual assault.
