Seriously, though,I don't know why any of this would show up on a background check. Even a solid federal one. Overall, were mostly talking about a teenager at a prep school partaking in prep school behavior.  Background  checks look for the abnormal, not the socially accepted.

Also, people are notoriously reluctant to talk about sexual assault. The assaulters won't incriminate themselves and the victims are ashamed and fearful they won't be believed.

For years now we have been hearing stories of women who would not come forward for years, and how they are mishandled by police and courts. I thought it had become common knowledge by now that sexual assault has become a special category of crime reporting.  But suddenly we are back in 1955, or the leaders of one party are.

Why didn't Ford/Ramiriz/Swetnick come forward BACK THEN?!?  Might as well ask what they were wearing.
