A Seattle woman said Thursday that prominent Washington state Sen. Joe Fain raped her after her college graduation in 2007. Fain denied the accusation and called for an investigation into the alleged incident.

The woman, Candace Faber, tweeted about Fain on Thursday afternoon and later issued a statement saying “we cannot heal without accountability.” The tweet came after hours of televised testimony on sexual-assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Faber said in her tweet that the assault occurred the night she graduated from Georgetown University. She had previously written a post about being assaulted by someone serving in the Washington state Legislature, but did not include a name.

In that earlier account, posted online in June, she described how she and the lawmaker met “at the Capitol” and spent a night out drinking and kissing. She wrote that she helped the drunken man return to his hotel room. In the room, she wrote, he pulled down her dress “so hard the straps tore.”

Why do I think the dam is going to break on bottled-up accusations of sexual assault?

3. This should be investigated by the proper authorities and I might note from the OP

The accused State Senator seems to see it that way as well. "Fain denied the accusation and called for an investigation into the alleged incident."

Perhaps we should wait until that occurs to pass judgement.

6. I'm thinking my silver lining

Is that the doctor who assaulted me is dead. I just have to deal with it again but do not have the need to report as I think so many women do.
