[quote=Anonymous]When I was 21, I was living on my own, going to college, working as a waitress.
One of my coworkers was a bit older (29) than me, took me under her wing and invited me out for dinner. She said her and her friends would pick me up. I agreed to go. When the car pulled up I got in. My friend was in the back seat. When her friends turned around to introduce themselves I realized they were men older than my father. In their late 50's. I was startled by this, but thought dinner is harmless I guess. I was naive eager to please my new friend.
It turned out that the gentlemen friends, one was the owner of a big car dealership, and one was one of the biggest lawyers in our city. My 21 year old self was too stupid to see at the time that attorney took to me, and started preying and grooming me throughout the dinner. Dinner was pleasant enough. Afterward they insisted we come to this party with them at some fancy house. I didn't really want to but the consensus was that it would be fun, and they were driving, so I gave in. We got there and it was fine... we ended up in a cigar room inside the house. Talking and having some wine and cigars. Then as in on cue, the room cleared and I was left with the lawyer on my own. He lunged at me and attacked me in word for word the exact description that the Italian actress Asia Argento described. I was shocked this week reading her account of what happened. Other than that I did not massage him with lotion. He pinned me and forcibly performed oral sex on me. Then raped me. I audibly told him no over and over. He was three times my size and not taking no for an answer.

Afterwards I did not know what to do. Who would believe me over him? He tried to pursue me after and offered to buy me a car and pay my rent. I said no to that too.

About 5 years later, he was all over the news for raping a clerk in his legal firm. 
He was aquitted and got off of course. Just as I knew would happen. The victim was put through hell in the news and he flexed his muscle and got off Scott free.

I am 38 now and don't think about him often. My husband knows what happened but other than that I did nothing.
The claims in Harvey Weinsteins news articles stir up old memories.

It's a horrible position to be in. I obviously know I could have made better choices but I felt completely helpless in those moments and I completely empathize with the women.
