Raped at an age of 15, told my diary: Ashley Judd
New Delhi : Moments after Donald Trump tweeted asking why Christine Ford did not report an alleged assault to the Supreme Court at the time it happened, people started sharing their ordeals with the hashtag #WhyIDidntReport, that also started trending on the social media.
Hollywood actor Ashley Judd also shared the reason behind not reporting her harassment.
Judd wrote, “#WhyIDidntReport. The first time it happened, I was 7. I told the first adults I came upon. They said, ‘Oh, he’s a nice old man, that’s not what he meant.’ So when I was raped at 15, I only told my diary. When an adult read it, she accused me of having sex with an adult man.”

Lili Reinhart wrote, “Because I didn’t want to lose my job or make people think I was a drama queen. #WhyIDidntReport.
I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents. I ask that she bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!
