I might have messed that up-
In telling my high school story, on this site, I meant to say that- I was telling my story [to everyone who reads the story], + that I wasn’t trying to tell it to just you, personally, or direct it to just you, personally.
I just wanted to make clear about why I wrote it.
Thank you,
TR

You’re welcome.

The accusation by this same woman was in the news in 2019, so perhaps you heard it then.

As I’ve pointed out several times, I don’t think Trump raped her.

But as I’ve also pointed out, that’s because he’s not a rapist and not because she’s not attractive enough to him to be raped by him. It’s also because rapists are not necessarily motivated by attraction in the same way non-rapists who try to seduce are motivated.

There is no question whatsoever that sexual assaults occur, and that many accusers are telling the truth. No question. And I see no reason to doubt you.

That, however, is of course different from an accusation against someone like Trump when he’s president and the target of hate from all sides.

And still another thing is proving any of it in a court of law. The standard of proof is much higher there – or should be – and rightly so.

**Emotional Trigger Warning**

I’m going to talk about people who [tried to sexually assault me], or [people who threatened me with sexual assault], before I was an adult.

When I was about 14, I went to a new high school, in the US.
I was a boy/male, and I still am.

I was a small, thin kid, and I guess I was about 4-foot, 7 inches tall.

This school was for kids who were about 13-18 years old.

This school, I guess to try to give its students some freedom, had a policy of: If you don’t want to go to a study-hall period, you can just roam the school, or hang out in the school, for that period.

To me, that’s not the safest idea, out there.

One day, I’m trying to walk to my next class.

I turn the corner + see three older guys. They are one one side of the hallway, + they are facing me.

No one else is in this hallway.

Each one of these guys is: about 40 pounds heavier than me, and they each look about 12 inches taller than me. Meaning- I don’t think I’m strong enough to fight them.

I don’t feel like telling you all the details, but- then one of the guys walks up to me, + puts on an angry + frightening face, and asks me what my name is…and maybe other questions like that.

…this guy is scaring me.

I hadn’t been taught how to handle threatening people like this, so I told him my name.

He then continues shouting at me.
He is using various things to threaten me, like: his frightening voice + face expression, his shouting, + moving his arms like he’s going to capture me or hit me.

His friends are enjoying this, thinking that this is something enjoyable, or funny.

THIS GUY THEN TELLS ME to do a sex act with one of his friends,…his friends are standing nearby.

I don’t want to be in this situation anymore.
I then walk over to this guy’s tall friend…he’s grinning a lot.

I then stare at this new guy a moment, + then I quickly walk away.

As I do this, the guy who talked to me, who is now behind me, screams at me in a serious voice: “WHAT DID I SAY???”

His friends think that this is funny, and they laugh at it.

That ends my story.

So, is my story true? Yes it is.
Did I escape a sexual crime, or was I threatened with a sexual crime? I
truly believe so.

You may think anything you like about me, + You may think that my story is true or not, that is totally your freedom, + it is reasonable for you to think that my story is, or it isn’t true.
Because you + I don’t know each other.

My points are: sexual crimes, and being threatened with sexual crimes, are somethings that can happen to anyone, despite their: age, gender, size, or other traits.

Another point of mine is- if a sexual crime or [a threat of a sexual crime], has been done to you- I hope that you get the emotional help, + medical help, and legal justice that you need.

I just wanted to tell you, that I didn’t as this question about this court case, out of any dismissive feeling, or out of any casual feeling, about this court case.

These types of crimes and accusations are very important, in my view.

It sounds like you are talking about Carol’s rape claims.

These were repeated by her several times over the years. I don’t recall her stating the store was empty, but also don’t think she mentioned other people. Probably because she is repeating her own fantasy. Her account always sounded like fantasy, and then she mentioned rape fantasy in her interview with Anderson Cooper (he quickly went to break).

However, the idea that she’s not attractive enough to be raped is an absurdity. That’s not the way rape works in the minds of many rapists. If Trump were the rapist type (and I don’t think he is), the fact that she’s not as attractive as his own wife would almost certainly not be relevant.

It doesn’t make sense to me that someone in Trump’s position in 95/96 would risk a forcible rape in public, particularly of a woman her age.

How would Trump keep her quiet after the rape? Weinstein raped young women he had influence over. Carol was a middle aged woman with an established career independent of Trump. Trump had lots to lose, and no way to prevent Carol from talking.
