YouTuber Andrew Callaghan has addressed the sexual misconduct accusations aimed at him by holding himself accountable.

There has long been an issue with the portrayal of relationships and what it means to be a straight man in the “pursuit” of women that is pervasive in our society and media, leading to this type of situation being wholly too common. He went on to discuss how at the time he believed his behavior was normal, and that “persistence was a form of flattery” when in fact it was not. I told him to get off of me multiple times, “He tried to put my hand down his pants and I was fighting against him during this, telling him to please stop.” The 25-year-old has released a video stating he wants to hold himself “accountable” for his actions and has stated he will start attending therapy sessions.

Andrew Callaghan, the popular American journalist known for Channel 5, has responded to the sexual abuse allegations that have surfaced against him.

I think when this stuff first came out, I was in a state of denial and shock. In a new Instagram post, Callaghan acknowledged his actions: “Up until this point, I didn’t really realise I had this pattern that had affected multiple people. Another individual named Dana claimed that Callaghan had harassed her by demanding sex and then did the same when he invited her to a dinner under the guise of apologising to her.

"Up until this point, I didn't even really realize that I had this pattern that had affected multiple people," said Callaghan in a YouTube video.

And I think that I want to be fully responsible for not having a fluid understanding of consent and what enthusiastic, two-way consent looks like. "That being said, if you never want to watch Channel 5 again, I understand. I hope that young people, and young men in particular, can use my mistakes to learn and move through life with a better understanding of consent as far. So I think I'm gonna make the decision to join the 12-step program for Alcoholics Anonymous, and during this journey into sobriety, I want to take a serious step back from public life and, like I said, figure myself out. I thought that persistence was a form of flattery and I thought that, if at first somebody was reluctant, they're playing hard to get. "That being said, a lot of the things that have been said online about me are not true. "So, that being said, I want to make a few things clear. But I think I want to have a more nuanced and important conversation about power dynamics, pressure and coercion. I think that, when this stuff first came out, I was in a state of denial and shock. "I'm OK now, but I don't really think this is about me. Conversations about pressure and consent are extremely important and Andrew wants to have these conversations, so he can continue to learn and grow." I told him to get off of me multiple times."
