Anthony Gold, Co-Founder of ROAR, reads a portion of the letter.
A
The
night
after
it
happened,
he
said
he
thought
I
liked
it,
because
I
rubbed
his
back
I
rubbed.
His
back
a
backrub
never
mentioned
me.
Voicing
consent,
never
mentioned
us
speaking
a
backrub
one
more
time
in
public
news,
I
learned
that
my
ass
and
vagina
were
completely
exposed
outside
my
breasts
had
been
groped.
Fingers
have
been
jabbed
inside
me,
along
with
pine
needles
and
debris.
My
bare
skin
and
head
had
been
rubbing
against
the
ground
behind
a
dumpster
while
an
erect
freshman
was
humping,
my
half-naked
unconscious
body,
but
I
don't
remember
so.
