I can tell you two things about childhood sexual traumas such as described by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser. You don’t report them and you never forget them. I know because it happened to me.

I was 14 in 1964 and had landed a job as a paperboy for the Hartford Courant. At the time, the Courant, and its afternoon counterpart the Hartford Times, used young folks like me (mostly boys) to deliver papers to homes in the greater Hartford area. They published and we delivered 365 days of the year. It was sometimes very hard work; it’s why I still start my workday before sunrise.
