He's probably not guilty of sexual assault

" This woman, it appears, had a wild affair with a television star behind the back of her own husband, who was waiting up for her in their own hotel room, and then felt horribly guilty about it afterward.

And there is one ugly detail in the police report that helps to confirm it, one you might have missed but that the police did not, and which explains why everyone walked away from Jane Doe's deeply unfortunate face-saving and likely false allegation. The police noticed that Hegseth's account of events was independently corroborated by Jane Doe's husband, who obviously never could have known he was being cheated on. Remember, Hegseth told the police a key detail: that after their sexual encounter concluded, Jane Doe was already expressing feelings of guilt, so they rehearsed a story for her to tell her husband: "JANE DOE stated she would tell her husband that she [had] fallen asleep on a couch in someone else's room."

That's Hegseth's version of events. Meanwhile, in an earlier interview with Jane Doe's husband, he himself independently took note of what Jane Doe offered him as an excuse for her lateness: "Must have fallen asleep." In other words, she stuck to the script she and Hegseth had agreed on. (Jane Doe's husband also noted to investigators that she did not seem at all intoxicated.)"
