Hollywood. Congress. Liberal Senators and even TED talks conferences for goodness sakes... have all been roiled by accusations by women of unwanted sexual advances by men.
When will the shoe drop here?
Take one powerful and experienced lawyer. Give them power (robes). Add dozens of not powerful and inexperienced lawyers, court reporters, and the like. Mix. KABOOM!
It's happened before. Many many many times.
Who amongst us has not heard the whispers of the Judge with the young PD or ASA? Or the older lawyer with the law-school intern.
The last few months have been eye openers.
Here is our question: What procedures are now in place for a young ASA or PD or any of the courtroom personnel to make a complaint against an older, powerful lawyer? Other than emailing us (and we have gotten those emails which we treat in the strictest confidence and destroy upon reading), where can someone in the legal system turn when an unwanted advance is made?
From Occupied America, where the most powerful man in the world liked to "grab them" (meaning women) in a region not suitable for discussion on a family blog, fight the power.
When you see something that is not right, not fair, find a way to get in the way and cause trouble. Congressman John Lewis
