Jesus. I am so sorry he abused you in such a manner. What a vile, evil man.

Thank you. Weirdest thing is how we (my wife was there too) kind of couldn't believe it, but thought it must be a one time thing. Little did we know, it happened (worse of course) over and over again over decades. How can it have gone on so long?

Fear. Shame. Threats. Hazy memories of the drugged victims. A society that says women, especially Black women, are lying so they can take a rich man’s money. The instincts of a predator and psychopath.

Chris. Good on you for deciding to take on this subject after all, and share the weird trauma. And for quoting Claire Dederer (I just finished "Monster").

I hope you got paid well for that creepy encounter.

Not really. But it was so sui generis that I kind of valued it, in a sort of "people are so fucking weird"kind of way.
