00:00You talk about bad behaviour that you committed.

00:04What do you mean by that?

00:05What's your idea of bad behaviour when you look back at what you were doing?

00:09Pushing the boundaries.

00:11In what way?

00:11I mean, being too handsy, you know?

00:14Touching someone sexually.

00:15Groping people.

00:16In a way that I didn't know at the time they didn't want.

00:20Yeah.

00:23Some people would say that that is criminal.

00:27That if you grope people in a sexual way against their wishes, that that is a crime.

00:33I agree that the word grope is a very odd word.

00:37I personally, I have caressed people.

00:42I have been gentle with people.

00:45That is the way that I am.

00:46You're making a pass at someone.

00:48You don't want to be aggressive.

00:51You want to be gentle and you want to see if they're going to respond positively.

00:55So I think the word itself is not a word that I associate with my experience.

01:00But would you say all of that was consensual?

01:04Or was it an attempt at seduction that if it was repelled by definition becomes,

01:11I guess, non-consensual?

01:13That if you're being handsy, if you're groping people and they don't want to do it.

01:18Then they should let you know they don't want to do it so that you can

01:22understand it's non-consensual and stop.
