I am sorry that happened to you, Barbara. The world is a nasty place.

I have heard that only 20% of sexual assaults are reported... Probably for the same reasons I did not report subsequent sexual assaults.... Sometimes those good ole boys stick together no matter what.
Hopefully we're moving along a path were abhorrent behavior like this is declining. With Trump's election progress has become more difficult.

I suspect most women are assaulted at least once in their lifetime whether they recognize it as being an assault or not. At least, that has been my observation over the years. When I was young, it seemed to me that, as a female, I should accept that it would happen at some point.

Thankfully, I've never been raped....
