... The passion and resolve of so many survivors, coupled with the job security that tenure afforded me, gave me the strength I simply did not have in 2004. By December 2017, I not only told many friends that Mr. Fairfax had sexually assaulted me but I also reached out to a personal friend at The Washington Post and spoke to his colleague about the assault...

I dunno, she’s been talking about this fifteen-year-old assault since all the way back in December of 2017.
Look ... if it happened it is terrible, and I feel bad for the lady. But we have to be real here. No, #MeToo’ers, you don’t get to sit on your stories for fifteen years and then bushwhack people with public accusations you never reported to the police. Civilization cannot function that way. When you’re assaulted you need to file a report immediately. If you don’t report the crime, you can’t expect everyone to just “take your word for it” over a decade later. That is a ridiculous expectation.
For the record I’ve won and lost fights. Those fights I lost were ass kickings I never reported to the cops. And I would never dream of trying to take a guy down with public accusations of assault today, for an ass kicking that happened thirty years ago. The time to address all that was way back when it happened.
