Don't forget the difference time makes. In his day no one would have listened to a woman who, after being willing to be alone with him, dared to complain.
Look how much our culture has changed in just a few years. Remember MASH? One of the characters was named Trapper John. The nickname came from his
trapping a woman in a bathroom on a train and having sex with her. She claimed rape, he said not.
Wikipedia of course says she was lying even with the book's dust jacket calling it rape.
