This entire article is written by someone putting words into people's mouths. This is called a strawman. (intentionally misinterpreting someone's argument) making the argument that there's reasonable doubt of that 46% of accusations ("46% of them had subsequent sex with the reported assailant". Ted disagrees with a statistic because some rape victims subsequently have sex with the reported assailant.) is not saying he doesn't believe them, he's saying there's reasonable doubt to these accusations based on following behavior. That doesn't mean he doesn't believe, that means, there's reasonable doubt.
As well apologist defined is "a person who offers an argument in defense of something controversial. 'an enthusiastic apologist for fascism in the 1920s'" An apologist defends the awful thing, he's not defending rape, he's defending accuracy in rape stats.
