As a survivor of sexual abuse let me explain that there is no time frame to come forward. It can take a week, a month, years, or sometimes never. Depends on how deep the trauma and shame are. Yes, there is a shame as well. Shame that you didn't fight enough, wasn't loud enough, maybe sent the "wrong" signals etc. Perhaps if we, as a society had less victim shaming, and more support, especially from men, we would talk about the trauma sooner. Trump is a predator. He admitted how he treats women and relies on his fame and power to do these dastardly deeds.
