Former Dark Horse editor outed as assaulter
It turns out that there was a male offender who committed an obscene act at a convention: the Dark Horse editor Scott Allie, who, according to this news, victimized writer Joe Harris at this year's SDCC through a form of sexual assault.
Needless to say, I'm disgusted and repulsed. It's a good thing if Allie's resigned his position. It's terrible if Harris had to go through such a painful experience, and I honestly think he should file charges against Allie with the cops. But did Dark Horse's management know Allie could be so abusive, whether intoxicated or not? If they did, then they're guilty of harboring, and that does undermine their own image.
