In much less important news than Lautenâs Facebook post, Dem staffer pleads guilty to sexual assault
posted at 9:31 pm on December 2, 2014 by Mary Katharine Ham
But this is not the story of a rant on social media that offended the Beltwayâs sensibilities such that it needed to be covered for three days straight.
No, this is the story of a Congressional staffer pleading guilty to sexual assault after being indicted on 10 charges stemming from at least two attacks on women, one a colleague.
Sexual assault is a hot-button issue; add to it that the perpetrator, Donny Ray Williams, seems to have a similar modus operandi to the alleged assaults by Bill Cosby, and boy have we got a recipe for an awareness-raising glut of coverage that might change the dynamic that allowed this man to abuse his colleagues in this way.
Prepare for think pieces on the toxic environment that led to this type of behavior. Prepare for many questions of his former bosses about what blinded them to the abuse happening under their noses.
Prepare for official inquiries of who knew what when, and whether Williamsâ behavior had raised red flags in the past.
Wait, what? His bosses were Sen. Mary Landrieu, Rep. Elijah Cummings, Sen. Herb Kohl, and Rep. Jan Schakowsky? Nevermind.
