The claims against Watson, at least from what I've read, have been considerably less egregious than, say, what Jeanne Carroll has asserted happened to her, and what many other women have asserted Trump did to them.

It's likely a very similar pathology though. In the end it may come down, in a sense, to what a black athlete like Watson (one who was beholden to the NFL, a buncha rich men basically) believed he could get away with vs. a white man like Trump had good reason to believe ... he could.
