Man, that press conference (with the Apprentice victim).

After the victim read her statement (which was harrowing enough), Gloria took questions rather than having the victim answer. But when someone asked why she chose to come forward, the victim spoke up and said she wanted to answer that: "Because I want to be able to sleep at night when I'm 70." Man, just a heart-breaking moment.

The details themselves were, well, detailed, but didn't really go much further than other accounts, but the key element was how he was using his position of power with the Apprentice to get this woman alone for the clear purpose of seducing her.

What's worse is you consider how many other women were in this sort of situation and did not feel they could resist his advances, and are now in a situation where they do not feel they can go public because it will reflect poorly on them compared to these women who did resist. That will be when the dam truly breaks... when the times that it did not simply end at forced kissing or groping come out.
