I was with my boss when we all found out. So I kept quiet, did the work in front of me, and kept a small knife in my pocket at all times.Ībout six months later he was arrested for violating probation by not disclosing his location to law enforcement (or something like that) - turns out he'd been convicted for participating in the gang-rape of a 12 year old girl and was a registered sex offender. After the crew had found out what happened, I didn't get invited to any social functions anymore. It lasted for about a month before my boss told me I was being unreasonable and making everyone uncomfortable, so if I couldn't work with my abuser, I would lose my job. I told her I didn't feel safe being around him anymore, but I understood that I didn't have a legal leg to stand on, so I just requested that we be scheduled for different shifts. So I talk to my boss at work about what happened. I didn't want to go to the police station just to hear someone tell me there was no point in pressing charges. I had also been drinking and smoking cannabis. The person who walked in on it clearly wasn't going to back me up either. I didn't have any visible marks on my body and it hadn't escalated to penetration yet. The person who interrupted the assault perceived it as consensual despite my obvious distress. Well, not before being called a 'nasty slut' on my way out. Luckily it was interrupted by someone else who lived in the house, and I got away unscathed. I was left alone with a particular coworker who attempted to sexually assault me. I worked at Taco Bell and was at a small party with some coworkers that I'd known for a couple years. Abusers can be pretty damn smart about flying under the radar, and it's not like the resources available for abused women are typically robust or easy to navigate. It was quite a.learning experience.Īt the time the situation wasn't one in which pursuing justice was a viable option.which is something a lot of women face. Having known the Governor for years and even worked with him when he would host radio shows for me - I find this story and the media frenzy surrounding it to be absolutely ridiculous! Please give him my best.Thanks. Hey, if Stephen Colbert can do it, why can't they? A Fox News correspondent whom the paper doesn't name-nor did it post a copy of the e-mail-wrote: Slow news day.' Reporters for Fox News and the Washington Times, naturally, assuring Sanford a friendly venue if he would speak to them first. Other e-mails released by the state include the Washington Post's Chris Cillizza asking Sanford spokesman Joel Sawyer: 'Dude, is everything OK?' after being told, preposterously, that Sanford's office wouldn't release details of his location for security reasons.

South Carolina's The State used the state's open records law to obtain the e-mail, along with hundreds of others flying in and out of the governor's office as his staff frantically worked to figure out where he was last month. Mark Sanford's office-in character!-last month at the height of the media frenzy surrounding the governor's disappearance, inviting him on the show 'for a friendly place to make light' of the story.

Stephen colbert give it to me gif
