Yeah, well, thank you for asking that because actually this is a really important lesson for people if they're ever going to go through something tough in their life and you find out who your friends are. I mean, that's the first thing. It's almost like when somebody dies and people don't know what to say and so they say nothing. They don't reach out to people.

That happened to me with this in a big way. People who live on my street have never acknowledged that this happened to me, some people. I had a woman come up to me two years later and say, you know, I was going to send you some sort of an email when this happened, but I just figured you were too busy. And I was like, what? I was sitting here in a pool of emotion.

I was sitting here in a pool of emotion.

And so then she did send me this wonderful email after the fact. And I said, thank you so much for sending me, even though it's two years later, because it means so much to me. And so my lesson to people is if you know somebody who's going through a really tough time and you don't feel comfortable reaching out, reach out.

And so my lesson to people is if you know somebody who's going through a really tough time and you don't feel comfortable reaching out, reach out.

because they will appreciate it so much because they are so by themselves, which by the way is what companies and people who are doing bad things to people, they want you to feel like you're by yourself because then maybe you don't come forward because it's such a lonely feeling. They want you to suffer.

So the more that people can reach out to you and let you know that you're not alone, it's really important. For me personally, I had a very close knit group of friends who I went to have dinner at their house that night so that I wouldn't be by myself. Actually, my minister at the time said, sent me some Bible verses.

It was just whatever way in which you can pick up somebody, I think it's really important for people to know that, that they can be very helpful to others. I didn't sleep at all because my phone was ringing off the hook all night. My home phone, reporters were trying to find me, wanting to get comment. The next day, I didn't know what to do with myself.

So I actually drove to one of my lawyer's houses and stayed there with them all day just for comfort. But the way in which my case immediately got world attention, was nothing that we ever expected. We knew it would have attention, but we didn't know it would be that much. But the biggest thing was we didn't know that Fox would announce that they were going to start an investigation.

That was huge news because we just assumed that they would deny everything and call me a horrible person. I mean, that happened, but they also said that they were going to start an investigation. And so it immediately sort of took this interesting turn where I was thinking, wow, like maybe I'm not going to spend the rest of my life crying my eyes out, right?

Maybe this is going to turn into something good. And so it was like almost from the beginning, an unexpected thing happened. And then it just morphed into more unexpected. And my alleged perpetrator was fired within two weeks. It was unbelievable.

If anyone has ever listened to Garrison Keillor or read his books, Lake Wobegon is my hometown. It's Anoka, Minnesota. It's a suburb of Minneapolis. At the time, like 14,000 people, not a big town at all.
