been made that bothered me most that was a complaint made by a young woman charlotte bennett who worked in my office. and it's important to me that you fully understand the situation. charlotte worked in my office last year as an assistant, she was smart, talented, and eager to learn. she identified herself to me as a survivor of sexual assault. she said that she came to work in my administration because of all the progress we had made in fighting sexual assault. she talked about the personal trauma that she endured and how she was handling it. i could see how it had affected her. i could see her pain. people now ask me, why was i even talking to this young woman if i knew she was dealing with such issues?
