As she narrated what she said happened that night, her body recoiled, and she pulled a hand over her face. “He slobbered all over me…It was disgusting. With her arms flailing and legs kicking, he finally relented and left the house, she said.”
With respect to this event the woman had mentioned that she had bruises all over her body and has been harassed physically and mentally.
One of the reports mentioned the following-
“The alleged incident is said to have taken place more than 25 years ago. While I did have a few meals with her around that period, our friendship did not continue as I felt that we did not have much in common. However, the allegations that I went to her house or that I had assaulted her and caused bruises are utterly false and baseless. I have lived a life without moral blemish. I have worked and moved with women of different ages and different spheres of life without giving a cause for complaint to anyone.”On being asked why she chose to come forth only after more than two decades, the woman reportedly said, For years I couldn’t say anything because of how close our families were.
