Let me put it to you like this: There's this guy whom you look up to and respect. You emulate him. You would like to be like him. You meet the guy and he seems swell. He invites you for drinks. You go. He seems fine.
Then you accept an invitation to drinks again. Again he seems fine.
He invites you to a party. You get there, he shows you around, meet folks who could help your career, everythings going well.
The party starts to wind down. He invites you to a more private area in the house. You think he's probably going to snort a line of coke but you go anyway because either you wouldn't mind snorting line of coke too or you just don't want to be rude and are planning on saying you don't do coke anyhow. Once there he close the door behind you whips his thang and tries to rub it on you.
What do you do?
If you're not interested you say so. You say something like, "I appreciate the offer, I'm flattered that you find me attractive, but I'm sorry to say that I'm just not interested in a sexual or romantic relationship with you." If the person persists, you leave. Otherwise, you get back to business as friends. That's easy to say from a hypothetical point of view. You would think it would be that easy, but I'll bet its not. My understanding is that the women involved did some variation of what you suggested. But its not as simple as you make it when the situation involves a person to whom you are financially dependent or he becomes physical.
But look, We need to NOT further victimize the victims. What we need to do is create an environment where this sort of thing does not happen in the first place. Men need to be more aware of their own actions, and women need to be more pro-active in their own defense.
