I haven't seen any real informative details anywhere.

I caught a part of the View this morning where this incident was being discusses. Barbara Walters made a comment about it and was very, very careful in her statement not to use "raped" but alluded to the fact that "sexual assault" may have implied something else of lesser severity may have happened......With her influence, it's very possible she has some confidential sources who know the truth.

I have a gut feeling that whatever happened to this reporter is being blown way out of proportion.

It wouldn't be the first time a reporterette told a fib. A New York weather girl named Heidi Jones filed a false report with police claiming she had been assaulted by an Hispanic man......

If her shirt was pulled off or if she was fondled, then it was technically a “sexual assault”. CBS has never said she was raped.

Ever.

If there is a time to parse words, this is it. She was not raped or they would have said so.

There was a similar incident in Central Park a number of years ago.Girls were sprayed with water and grabbed and groped after a Hispanic Day parade.

I saw one media report somewhere here on FR this morning, which even used the term "internal injuries". Now that could be used to describe vaginal penetration injuries without being specific about it, but it could also be used to describe deep tissue or muscle bruising of her breasts and derriere from wholesale grabbing. You just can't trust anything the media says.

Logan did not report rape.
Rape was not confirmed, nor reported.
She reconnected with her crew.
She went to the hotel, not the hospital, fearing lack of security.
She caught the plane out the next morning.

“Sustained sexual assault” was likely not the phrase used by a rape victim.

In the Middle East, being an American is high risk. Being an American woman in the Middle East is higher risk. Being an American, woman, in the Middle East, in the middle of a revolution? What would you call that?

These youngsters actually LOBBY for these assignments! They then arrive with no training for the foreign culture they are entering. She might have been killed, and by her countenance and yes, her dress, she didn’t seem to have a clue of personal danger.

I may be mistaken but I didn’t see any other female reporter with even an open collar, did anybody else?
