Perhaps the candidate-martyr would have obtained satisfactory results had Mr Levin's behavior been characterized "sexual misconduct", as everyone in the USA is conversant with permissible "sexual conduct" the allegations and compensatory damages obtained by the offended,

Chris Brown, who played principal bass in the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra for more than three decades, said that Mr. Levine masturbated him that summer -- and then coaxed him to reciprocate -- when Mr. Brown was 17 at the Meadow Brook School of Music in Michigan. Mr. Levine, then 25, was a rising star on the summer program's faculty. James Lestock said that Mr. Levine also masturbated him there that summer when Mr. Lestock was 17 and a cello student -- the first of many sexual encounters with Mr. Levine that have haunted him. And Ashok Pai, who grew up in Illinois near the Ravinia Festival, where Mr. Levine was music director, said that he was sexually abused by Mr. Levine starting in the summer of 1986, when Mr. Pai was 16 -- an accusation he made last year in a report to the Lake Forest Police Department in Illinois.

if any, would need no ahhh excuplatory explanation thirty years later.
