I re-read the article to try to figure out what this "specific case" actually might be.
Two people engaged in a consensual physical relations. She was not happy with the outcome.
At the time, she "did not blame him for what happened, and didn't think those behaviors were problematic at the time. ... I maintained friendship with him for a few months after May, because I was convinced that it was all consensual."
So, only months/years later does she decide she's a victim.
She absolves herself of all responsibility ("There was nothing [I did] to cause this"). Yet, she brought wine to dinner with her mentor, drinks until she's hammered while her partner does not drink (Who does that? Other than alcoholics?). Somehow, every decision she makes is his fault.
90% of the article is about her feelings and his responsibility for them. She feels entitled that he show her "remorse, sympathy, and guilt."
She repeatedly accuses him of gaslighting, when it seems more accurate to say they had different recollections or expectations.
She quotes “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good [people] to do nothing.” implying he is evil and she is an avenging vigilante.
"I am not trying to convince anyone of anything." This is disingenuous. I think this her way of saying "This is my story, therefore I do not need to provide proof of anything."
"by speaking up, I can take my stolen power back." It's not obvious how her "power" was stolen. Maybe what she really means is, "I feel powerful by destroying his career."
Mature adults learn from uncomfortable experiences and move on. Emotional infants wallow in life-long self-pity and construct elaborate fantasies to support their victimhood.

You really came out of the woodwork to defend this guy and shame the accuser. Zero posts in months then a flurry here. Gross.
I don't see how my posting history is relevant to the topic.
It seems like you are resorting to an ad hominem attack to discredit an opinion you don't like.
You are using cancel-culture tactics to defend cancel-culture itself.
I'm not defending the guy. I'm defending the rule of law and due process.
An unsubstantiated accusation should not result in someone's life being ruined.
