These kinds of comments are commonly why victims don't report. Even if someone takes you seriously, there's nothing in it to help the victim especially when the guy is from a powerful family with a famous name. Chances are you'll just get harassment and threats for speaking up. However, say you remain silent, and the guy ends up running for president.

Sexual assault allegations … he groped her … the Vanity Fair article speaks of putting his hand on her leg. Is that really a sexual assault? Is a hand on a leg actual groping? I thought groping meant something more personal.
