The ESSENCE story is different from the AP. The reporter in ESSENCE claims that she was told by the family that she was raped when she was 17 or 18 and after that she received therapy and medication. The AP story claims that she reported at 18 a rape that occurred when she was 14, based on a report that they have seen.

I am betting on her family being wrong, or lying about it.
This prior rape accusation will be brought up by defense if this goes to trial....
To exploit her for political purposes is criminal.
Maybe she was raped twice before by three white men. :-)
