A visiting scientist at MIT has resigned over comments he made about Jeffrey Epstein, according to an email posted online
Richard Stallman posted the resignation on his personal website Monday evening"due to pressure on MIT and me over a series of misunderstandings and mischaracterizations."Stallman was a pioneer in hacker culture and the free-software movement, according to an article from CSAIL.His comments were written about in a Vice News story, but CNN has not independently corroborated those comments.He defended his statements in a Sept. 14 blog post.
Nothing could be further from the truth. I've called him a"serial rapist", and said he deserved to be imprisoned. But many people now believe I defended him — and other inaccurate claims — and feel a real hurt because of what they believe I said. I'm sorry for that hurt. I wish I could have prevented the misunderstanding.
