For Christ's sake, why would she wait for 40+ years to do anything about it?
This kind of nonsense is unbelievable, IMO.
Belief is just a simple of case of deciding based on nothing much. That judgment can't be made realistically.
However why wait 40+ years?
Well, imagine it happens to you, and you try and hide the episode, then all of a sudden the guy is going to become a part of the top echelons of the US Federal Govt.
You might suddenly find that this incident is in your face every day when you've tried to hide it.
That you don't understand what it's like is neither here nor there.
