Why this exists
Christine Blasey Ford testified before the U.S. Senate about an assault she said a Supreme Court nominee had committed 36 years earlier, when she was 15. Again and again she was asked why she had waited so long, and whether her memory could be trusted after so many years.
The only earlier record she had was a set of notes her therapist wrote in 2012. Someone else had written them, they didn't name anyone, and one detail differed from her account. Instead of settling anything, they became one more thing to argue about.
Whatever anyone concluded about her case, many people who are hurt face the same question when they finally speak: how do we know you didn't make this up later?
Nobody should have to face it empty-handed.
