Indeed though we should note it doesn't specifically reference that incident. As Corrian said, if Reade was sexually assaulted like she was, why would the mother "she didn't want to ruin the senator's credibility"? This case is baffling and there are so many loops to jump through that her case is just weak. Now, I think there's a good chance that Biden didn't respect his space and it likely creep her out. After all, she didn't mention the grotesque details until about a year after she made the allegation. As I (and Reagan) would say: Trust, but verify.
The underlined is not an uncommon thing actually. Trauma victims often end up self blaming and convincing themselves it was their fault and whatnot. If you fall into that pit it's really easy to understand that statement.
That's a great example of an excuse used to jump to a conclusion. Fact is Zurk was right, she has a pretty weak case which is probably how it will remain. However, that won't stop political partisans from beating this dead horse of a story on "the internets."
