1. It happened at a midtown bar, not at the conference
2. The person who assaulted them was not a conference attendee
3. The conference wasn't even a tech conference (!!), it was a legal conference
Not to detract from how upsetting I'm sure it was, or the other reports from other women. But, how is this not an incredibly misleading attempt to get clicks by making it tech-related?
1. There seems to be sanctioned and "external events". It happened at an external event. But it seems to have been some event related to the conference.
2. The article didn't say that, as far as I understand. Apparently, he wasn't there on behalf of his employer. In any case, he apparently got invited by an attending former colleague. Again, context of the conference.
3. It was a "legal tech" conference. What?

It's NPR, what kind of motives are you suggesting here? Pumping engagement metrics to get government funding?
I think, you intentionally framed the article at least as much, as you lament here.
