As a journalist who covered conflict for 20 years, some of it alongside Lara Logan, I read about the sexualattack on the CBS correspondent with horror.
The history of racial injustice (particularly the stereotype of the Black male as a sexual predator) and the need to protect her community from further attack might persuade a survivor to remain silent.
Though possibly a paranoid schizophrenic, who spent the last years of his life convinced that the world was under attack by UFOs, he offered an intellectual rationale for the sexual revolution.
