Renowned Broadcast Journalist Connie Chung, 72, Talks About Being Sexually Assaulted 50 Years Ago

Oct 4, 2018  •  Post A Comment

Connie Chung, addressing Christine Blasey Ford in an op-ed piece in the Washington Post, writes, “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. The molester was our trusted family doctor. What made this monster even more reprehensible was that he was the very doctor who delivered me on Aug. 20, 1946. I’m 72 now.

“It was the 1960s. I was in college. The sexual revolution was in full swing. The exact date and year are fuzzy. But details of the event are vivid — forever seared in my memory.

“Am I sure who did it? Oh yes, 100 percent.”

After describing the details of the assault, Chung, well known as a broadcast journalist, explains, “At the time, I think I may have told one of my sisters. I certainly did not tell my parents. I did not report him to authorities. It never crossed my mind to protect other women. Please understand, I was actually embarrassed about my sexual naivete. I was in my 20s and knew nothing about sex. All I wanted to do was bury the incident in my mind and protect my family.”

Even though the perpetrator of her assault died almost 30 years ago, Chung writes, “Christine, I, too, am terrified as I reveal this publicly. I can’t sleep. I can’t eat. Can you? If you can’t, I understand. I am frightened, I am scared, I can’t even cry.”

  1. Totally disgusting and do not believe her! Apparently everywoman in America has suddenly remembered they were all sexually assaulted and raped. Christine FORD is a liar and should be prosecuted for lying and put in jail. Connie Chung being willing to stage this agenda fueled propaganda crap of a story to try and say it’s normal to not remember anything is a LIE! MAKES ME SICK!

    You are a perfect representation of why victims of sexual assault fear reporting the trauma perpetrated against them. You make me sick, just for fun, consider for a moment, Christine Ford and Connie are telling the truth-under God the total actual truth, what does that make you? Abhorrent, rapist enabler. You DISGUST ME!!
