I too suffered groping and sexual assault while sleeping from a relative from age 13-17. I too would try to turn over, turn away, but was immobilized by fear and embarrassment. I never told anyone until I was 18. And nothing was done. I am now 64 and for my whole life have felt deep shame and embarrassment about the entire situation. I have felt so much shame that I "let it happen". That I didn't do anything to fight it off; to fight off a strong 200 pound man with lots of authority and popularity. So those who comfortably ask why people wait so long to report, it is because of the shame they feel. And the fear at what will happen when and if they do report it. I can't even imagine the pressures of being an up and coming skater who doesn't want to ruin their skating career by appearing "dramatic" or "a problem". For someone with Ashley's level of fame to come forward is an astonishing act of courage. She is a badass and those who are trying to portray her and others like her as weak or calculating is utterly sickening to me.
