Let me ask you this:
Assume you are a 15 year old girl who is assaulted. You are hurt and ashamed and you think no one will believe you or no one will care. You put up with the whispers and hope that eventually it goes away. the boy moves on, and you resign yourself to keeping it to yourself.
You see the boy grow into a man, with his own life, and does reasonably well in his life. You have, yourself moved on, and try to get over the trauma.
Now you see him nominated to the supreme court.
Your truth is now important.
Do you now come forward, or keep the fact that a sitting supreme court justice attempted to rape you when you were 15?
