They would know there were risks, more for her as a young woman than him as an established male professional re believability.

It's never easy for a woman to come forward with allegations of sexual abuse. The overwhelming majority of them are never reported.

In light of this, I would have to conclude that Anita Hill was resigned to remaining silent until Thomas was nominated for the Supreme Court. When that happened, she must have felt that she needed to come forward in order to prevent the confirmation of a sexual predator for a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land. I expect it's much the same with respect to the women who are coming forward to accuse Trump.
