Most women never report such an incident or a more serious rape. Jones says
she had no intention of reporting anything until the continuing stories of
her dalliances with Clinton were put in print.
You should understand that suit was filed under a somewhat novel
interpretation of one law and that time had expired on normal charges.
I think the time women take to level charges is a complete red herring.
Most of those who use this argument against Jones have no problem with Anita
Hill's much longer silence.

She didn't read it. It was pointed out to her by a friend who did read it.
Her circle of acquaintances was quite well aware of the whispers and knew
damn well who "Paula" was.

I think personally that is a silly claim and is only a ploy by her lawyers
to shore up the legalities. Seems a blunder to me but what do I know.
Fantastic claims are upheld in court.
That Jones was upset should be obvious to anyone. Her determination and
unwillingness to compromise is incredible. She has taken blasts from the
Clinton hatchet men and broadsides from the like of Sam Donaldson that would
unnerve a charging rhinoceros.
Best, Terry
