I'm surprised and yet I'm not.Not guilty of all charges

So I'm watching the Piers Morgan interview with Kevin Spacey indirectly through the Behavior Panel. (I can't justify watching PM directly since I find him offensive. Just me.)
A few things caught my attention:
1) Kevin talked about 'when you fall in love across the room' there is not anything wrong with being a bit aggressive.(Not verbatim, but that's how I interpreted it.)
2) Piers mentioned that, historically, 40% of marital relationships developed from an older, male boss meeting a younger female worker. PM then went on to say, that after Weinstein, Kevin possibly got caught up in that 'hysterical' (grrr!) first wave. KS responded that some of that Weinstein splashback and Me Too movement were warranted. He then want on to say, but the media looked into Weinstein for a year before they printed anything. The implication was that Kevin was angry that the media didn't give him the same luxury.
3) KS had said he might have had some bad behaviour. PM asked him what he meant by that. KS said he might have been too 'handsy', 'touching someone sexually, in a way that, at the time I didn't know that they didn't want.' PM asked if he meant groping, which some people could interpret as being criminal. KS response was that 'I find the word groping an odd word, I would refer to it as caressing.' 'When you're making a pass at someone you want to be gentle. That is the way I am.' [Wait a minute. Look back at point #1 where KS talked about being aggressive.]
There's more but I don't think I can watch it all again.
It sounds like Spacey hasn't learned anything. His victims just "misunderstood" his intentions. It's not sexually groping, it's "caressing". Falling in love with someone across the room means its ok to go aggressively grope them, that's normal.So I'm watching the Piers Morgan interview with Kevin Spacey indirectly through the Behavior Panel.
