I disagree with point 3. As written, I think the author is suggesting that EA organisers should report any sexual misconduct to the police. I strongly disagree—I think EA organisers should offer to help report to police, but the choice should always be up to the person who had the bad experience. No one who’s had an experience of sexual harassment or assault should be forced to talk to police about it.
strong agree—if we insisted on reporting any misconduct we heard about to the police, it may even prevent people from coming forward, because they (often quite reasonably) may believe that the legal process will hurt them more than it helps
