Silicon Valley's secret spreadsheet names over 100 alleged sexual predators
Silicon Valley 'sex assault list' with 'over 100' names circulated
A private spreadsheet naming more than 100 alleged sexual predators in Silicon Valley—including prominent investors and businessmen—has circulated among women in tech as a warning system. Sources describe a culture of fear where victims avoid police, fearing blacklisting. The list contains allegations of drugging, assault, and rape at hacker houses, though verifying the accounts remains difficult.
I was worried that if I tried for justice in my case and I lost, I would be blacklisted from every investor in town.

Sad that they feel this is necessary.
Also feels like something that could be life ruining if someone innocent finds themselves on the list by mistake/fluke. This is presumably crowdsourced which is not bulletproof

Sorry for writing from a throwaway account because there's still a lot of stigma to this, while I think it's a pretty average experience.
I had sex therapy to be able to understand where my fantasy ends, and where the real world starts, and how people in the real world aren't there to play the roles my fantasies give them.
It sounds obvious when I say it like this but there are many men like me, who didn't grow up emotionally, and having difficulty accepting the agency of others. Women had to be interested in me so that I could feel validated. I also had never stopped and asked myself "does she really want this or am I trying to manipulate her?".
You also see the same pattern with men who think it's their right to find a female partner and they feel wronged by the society when this doesn't automatically happen.
Try getting some help, fellow men. It takes a lot of weight from your shoulders and you become much less likely to end up getting on such lists.

I think the question is: Does this list work better in secret, where the perpetrators don't know they're on the list; or does it work better in public, where the general public learns that these kinds of problems continue to happen?

Ok can we see the list? And then prosecute the people? Or it’s a secret for some reason?

Is there a better source on this other than nypost?

Just read the article. Why are adults living in frat houses? Is this a thing now?

Grain of salt, folks. Wait for something other than the NYPost.

As an aside, this is the first I heard about [tech houses](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/technology/agi-house-ai-c...). So far, they don't. . . sound great.
