This was going to be a story about how far we’ve come in talking about victims of sexual abuse. It
was a few days after a man, age 46, initials D.H., filed a lawsuit
saying Seattle Mayor Ed Murray had paid him for sex when he was 15.
It
turned out similar allegations against Murray had surfaced a decade ago
but were never shared with the public – a lawyer withdrew and reporters
balked. That made me wonder if we as a society had evolved since 2008
in how we treat victims.http://kuow.org/post/silence-around-seattle-mayor-s-rape-allegations
