I am so very sorry that she ever needed to do so. She is a very courageous woman who suffered an injustice. Hopefully this OB-GYN will soon be put where he cannot hurt anyone again.

but also because she had to know that people would accuse her of doing this as a political stunt to somehow help Yang's campaign - which some did.

She saw she had a platform and a spotlight and chose to use it, regardless. I really commend her for not staying quiet.

Googling about this stuff shows how common it is. The more people that end the silence, the better.

Pastors, Nuns, school coaches, school doctors, teachers, it just goes on and on and we will probably not know the greatest majority of it due to embarrassment of those involved.

I applaud the ones that have come forward, and despise the ones that did it, or ones like loudmouth Jordan who let it go on.......

I saw her on tv a couple of weeks ago. Listening to her, I was so impressed. The story was painful to listen to -- and had to be so horrible for her to experience. She is a powerful human being.

I thought the same thing. - it makes it sound like andrew yang was the assaulter possibly. Glad its not but it is confusing if you Haven’t already heard the story.

A lot of risk was in that decision to come forward, but so much good came of it. I admire her for shining the light.
