Why this leaning score
The article presents a neutral and factual account of the events, but uses slightly more formal language when describing the actions of the perpetrator (e.g., 'inappropriately touched' rather than 'sexually assaulted'), which may suggest a subtle bias towards minimizing the severity of the allegations.
Written under an earlier scoring contract, which gave a paragraph
