Myself included. Trump doesn't take into account that the victim is AFRAID of the perp. How is a fifteen-year-old supposed to feel? It was an elite school. You fear not only the perp but his friends, parents, authorities.

There is a sexual assault survivors' group on DU. I encourage people to contribute their. This is a hard time for a lot of us.
