Why was Redesk CEO Guy Pearson looking to hire someone for a speaking engagement the day after they were accused of sexual assault?

I stole that from Twitter, but it's not a good look. Did he just not really care or did he figure that he could act duplicitous and insert himself into a situation that has nothing to do with him? Who benefits from that?

Would rather not make this comment at all because there's an actual issue worth talking about here, but let's not applaud toxic behavior.
