My point here is that survivors here of sexual assault are levying the same arguments against Grace that very much hurt themselves. They are dismissing her out of hand even as he has not argued the facts, facts which seem to fit New York state's legal definition of "forcible touching". "She didn't report it", it must not have happened.
But as Joods explained, her issue isnt that Grace didnt report it to police. Its that Grace reported it to the media instead of reporting it to the police. And that the story didn't depict sexual assault in the first place, thereby hanging this guy on public opinion rather than allowing him a fair trial.
None of us is saying sexual assault didn't happen because Grace didnt go to the police. We think sexual assault didn't happen because the story Grace gave didn't depict sexual assault.
It seems that, Babe approached Grace for the story, not the other way around. Dont know how to copy paste on mobile so look it up on Vox.com
