For convenience, this is CEA’s statement from three years ago:
We approached Jacy about our concerns about his behavior after receiving reports from several parties about concerns over several time periods, and we discussed this public statement with him. We have not been able to discuss details of most of these concerns in order to protect the confidentiality of the people who raised them, but we find the reports credible and concerning. It’s very important to CEA that EA be a community where people are treated with fairness and respect. If you’ve experienced problems in the EA community, we want to help. Julia Wise serves as a contact person for the community, and you can always bring concerns to her confidentially.
By my reading, the information about the reports contained in this is:
CEA received reports from several parties about concerns over Jacy’s behavior over several time periods
CEA found the reports ‘credible and concerning’
CEA cannot discuss details of most of these concerns because the people who raised them want to protect their confidentiality
It also implies that Jacy did not treat people with fairness and respect in the reported incidents
‘It’s very important to CEA that EA be a community where people are treated with fairness and respect’ - why say this unless it’s applicable to this case?
Julia also said in a comment at the time that the reports were from members of the animal advocacy and EA communities, and CEA decided to approach Jacy primarily because of these rather than the Brown case:
The accusation of sexual misconduct at Brown is one of the things that worried us at CEA. But we approached Jacy primarily out of concern about other more recent reports from members of the animal advocacy and EA communities.
