If I'm reading it right, violetblue. (and 9 others listed in one paragraph of the article)


This paragraph from the article: "More witnesses and stories have surfaced since. These include Bill Budington of the EFF, Micah Lee of the Intercept, Nick Farr, Quinn Norton, Leigh Honeywell, Alison Macrina, Andrea Shepard, Meredith Patterson, and Isis Agora Lovecruft."


Yes, but unless I'm mistaken, none of those people have publicly put their name on a rape accusation.


This seems to meet the definition of attacked:

   The convincing turned into trying to pull her away   
   physically, grabbing at her hands. I locked my arm with
   hers, and put myself in between her and Jake. All while he
   was trying to reach around me, while he was telling me to
   let go.


Not raped though, which is what I was trying to get at. Sorry if I was vague. You're right, the evidence of many other incidents is indeed there.


In conjunction with the description of involuntary genital exploration that normally precedes the above quote it was, unambiguously, an episode of sexual assault.

You can debate whether digital-only -- but nonetheless involuntary -- stimulation fits the legal definition of "rape" in this or that jurisdiction, if you want. But if so, you'd be splitting hairs.


Yeah, check the post times.
