Connie Chung opens up about her sexual assault in a letter
In a powerful letter to Christine Blasey Ford published Wednesday in the Washington Post, American journalist Connie Chung wrote that the memory of her sexual assault by a family doctor who delivered her is "forever seared in my memory."
"Dear Christine Blasey Ford, I, too, was sexually assaulted — not 36 years ago but about 50 years ago. I have kept my dirty little secret to myself. Silence for five decades," Chung wrote.
Chung was in college in the 1960s when the assault occurred, she wrote. "The exact date and year are fuzzy. But details of the event are vivid — forever seared in my memory," but Chung said she is "100 percent" sure who assaulted her.
Like Chung, Ford has said she cannot remember every detail surrounding the attack. Ford testified before Congress that she and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh were in high school when Kavanaugh held her down, tried to remove her clothes and covered her mouth at a party.
Kavanaugh, who has faced accusation of sexual misconduct from other women, has vehemently denied all allegations against him.
While some have criticized to Ford's memory gaps, experts told USA TODAY last month that the brain processes trauma differently and that not remembering some details does not mean all others are inaccurate.
As Chung wrote toward the end of her letter to Ford: "I am writing to you because I know that exact dates, exact years are insignificant. We remember exactly what happened to us and who did it to us. We remember the truth forever."
