8. Until they say more, they might not have known

Or they might have been in the position that the former staffer told them but specifically did not want them to report it and said she would not stand behind it. I could understand that she might have been concerned by having gotten drunk and because she may have initially been happy that he was attracted by her. She might have blamed herself.

As to the other things, it could well be they didn't know the scope of it.

At this point we don't know ... and there are many staffers etc saying they are not surprised With this, it seems to be unsigned and it doesn't even say how many .... It could be two.
