How could you say this?
As a official in a government position no less!
Many women (and men) who are victimized don't come forward for years.
There's shame, there's fear, there's retaliation and trauma.
Don't belittle victims; speak harsh of criminals.
Resign!

I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents. I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!

He doesn't know the meaning of words like shame, empathy, sympathy or any human emotion! He actually gets pleasure from causing others, especially women, pain, fear, and trauma. Trying to appeal to his decency is useless. He doesn't have any decency!

I was 12 years old when I was molested by my uncle, assaulted by my neighbor, almost raped by a gang of teenagers. I didn’t report anything until I was 14 ONLY about my uncle. I never reported the other two incidents. He never served any jail time.

Very sorry you went through that. It’s so hard to find a girl these days that hasn’t been through some sexual abuse and it keeps happening younger and younger. I hope you have found light and peace in your life and love most of all. We are not all bad.

Thank you so much for your kibd words. Healing took me around 25 years. I know not all men are sexual predators but for a time during my years of severe depression, I thought all were the same. I think step one for us survivors is simply being heard.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. It's not too late to get help. Stuffing it down isn't http://good.It can fester in ways you don't see.

Unfortunately sometimes blocking it out is the only way you could manage to go on.

#WhyIDidntReport I was told he would kill my family if I told. Luckily my sister knew what happened and told my mother, who quit work to stay home and protect me. It never went beyond my immediate family. In all these years, I've only told 2 people, until now. -
you are not alone -
Sorry to hear about your assault. I hope more people will report these horrible crimes as soon as it happens to ensure these predators will pay for their crime and hopefully put an end to it. No one is above the law, not trump or a judge!

Time and evidence will tell. For me, I've seen enough to make a reasoned conclusion, which I realise is not 100% provable because it includes opinion, but I'm open to new evidence.

Why don’t you care enough to hear the women out? As president of the USA you should care about both sides of these situations.

WOW you really haven't a clue! I was 16 & he was well in his 40's. I was scared to death to say anything because he was a pillar of our community. I blamed myself & was sure no one would believe me.

I’m so sorry you experienced that trauma and fear. It was NOT your fault. I hope you have found the support you need to find a pathway to healing. I believe you
