Why didn’t she tell her father? Ronald and Nancy would have stood by their daughter and fought for justice. It’s not like they would treated her like a piriah.

Questions only Patti can answer. I have always figured that President Reagan had a very busy outside of the home life... and who knows what day to day life was like for his children... Hollywood/entertainment business, has a long history of perverts getting protected.

Why didn’t she tell her father?

We don't know what happened.

And people had different ideas about consent then than we do now.

If alcohol or drugs were involved, signals could have gotten crossed.

Anyway, the 70s were a very different time, especially in the rock world.

No, I would suspect that if Davis didn't want this to become a publicity circus RR would have handled it quietly and effectively. The person who harmed his daughter would not have been able to get a job as a valet car parker in all of SoCal when Reagan finished using his Rolodex. When he became Prez this individual ‘s employment opportunities nationwide would consist of fast food worker, car was employee and lawn maintenance in backwater low income cities.
Welcome to Pritchard, Alabama fella.

REAGAN’S SON TELLS OF ABUSE AS A YOUTH BY MAN AT CAMP
By EDWIN MCDOWELLMAY 2, 1987

Michael Reagan, President Reagan’s adopted son, disclosed in an outline for an autobiography that he was sexually molested and photographed in the nude by a day-camp official when he was 7 years old...

...According to the outline, Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman, Michael Reagan’s adoptive parents, who divorced when the boy was 3, so neglected the youth that he regarded as a father figure the man who ran the camp where he went after school each day. The unidentified leader abused him for nearly a year on daily automobile drives, according to the outline.

Ever since being photographed in the nude, the younger Mr. Reagan said, he was terrified that the photos would be made public and hurt his father’s political career. ‘’When Dad ran for President,’’ he wrote in the outline, ‘’I had visions of him losing because those pictures taken 34 years ago might turn up.’’

In fact, the President did not become aware of the matter until less than three weeks ago, when Michael Reagan and his family visited the President and Nancy Reagan at their California ranch on Palm Sunday. Michael and Colleen Reagan are the parents of two children, Ashley and Cameron.

The President told reporters Thursday he was ‘’sorry’’ about the incident, adding that he hoped the book would help people...

Ignore the Nyet Times’ attempts at attacking Ronald Reagan in this piece (for neglect/absence/apathy/etc.). Why didn’t Patti step up and out then?
