I couldn’t move. I was petrified.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next day in class, she says, she didn’t know how to interact with him. Then, she says, he invited her back to his house. “This was the man who would be writing letters of recommendation for me and, in his words, controlling my future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She worried that if she declined his invitation, she’d be shunned. “He was so powerful,” she says. “He was this man who could get you jobs in a market where it’s difficult to get jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So she went back. “I thought, well, I’ll go to his house, but if he starts doing something I won’t let it happen. But he did something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chu alleges Fliegelman raped her that night. She didn't report the assault. \"I didn't know what to do,\" she says. \"I felt powerless.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says the harassment went on and, finally, she told him she was gay. It wasn’t exactly true, but it was the only way she could see to navigate what she calls his \"fragile ego\" and power over her future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a forced coming out, one she still resents. Chu says she is bisexual but didn’t get a chance to fully explore her sexuality as a young person.

Stanford said it could not share the findings of that investigation due to privacy laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just recently Chu herself managed to get a summary of the findings after repeatedly pressing the university. The two-page letter from Stanford's general counsel summarized the 2000 investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4323656-Debra-Zumwalt-Letter-to-Seo-Young-Chu-11-27-2017.html\" responsive=true sidebar=false text=false pdf=false]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It said the investigation found Fliegelman had called Chu repeatedly and left her messages with sexual content, showed her pornography and initiated oral sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You stated that the sexual contact was preceded by your stating that you were uncomfortable and wanted to leave,\" the letter reads. The summary says Fliegelman disputed that, but the letter continues, \"Although there were no other witnesses to this incident, the investigation found that you made contemporaneous reports to others that were consistent with your assertion that the contact was nonconsensual.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on the findings, the provost at the time, \u003ca href=\"https://news.stanford.edu/2017/01/24/provost-john-etchemendy-leaves-remarkable-legacy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Etchemendy\u003c/a>, concluded that Fliegelman \"engaged in a pattern of unwelcome verbal conduct of a sexual nature, and engaged in an incident of physical sexual contact under circumstances that were extremely inappropriate and in which your assent could be questioned.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fliegelman was suspended for two years, barred from the department during that time and sent to mandatory counseling.

She says he threatened to destroy her reputation and end her career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moretti is now a professor emeritus at Stanford. He did not respond to a request for comment, but \u003ca href=\"https://www.stanforddaily.com/2017/11/09/two-women-accuse-former-stanford-professors-of-sexual-assault/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he told the Stanford Daily\u003c/a> he denies the rape allegation. He said Latta had been a consensual partner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We went out to dinner together one night and back to her apartment, where we had fully consensual sex and I spent the night,” Moretti told the campus paper. “I did not rape her, and am horrified by the accusation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that he and Latta kept meeting, and maintained their acquaintance until he left Berkeley. He also denied threatening Latta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A friend of Latta’s, who was a fellow student in Moretti’s class, confirmed much of Latta’s account. She asked not to be named because she’s still in academia. She remembers Latta agreeing to go on a date with Moretti and having a bad experience, though she didn’t know the details. Afterward, she says, the professor wouldn’t stop pursuing Latta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Basically we would call it stalking,” she said. “She would leave his office and be very upset.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The friend remembers Latta trying to make a complaint and later telling her that she’d been threatened with legal recrimination. The friend says Latta was a strong student, but ended up dropping out because of the episode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latta says that’s true. She didn’t finish her Ph.D. at Berkeley. “I had to leave academia for a long time because of what happened,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t just the trauma of the alleged assault and harassment, or the way the university responded that affected her. She says the experience with Moretti undermined her sense of herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11635208\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11635208\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/Latta4-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/Latta4-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/Latta4-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/Latta4-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/Latta4.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/Latta4-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/Latta4-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/Latta4-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/Latta4-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/12/Latta4-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kimberly Latta with family on her 25th birthday. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Kimberly Latta)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"At first I thought he was interested in me because he thought I had an interesting mind,” she says. “But then to find out it was only sex -- it really sapped me of my sense of myself as an intellectual.

Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/essential/la-pol-ca-essential-politics-updates-assemblyman-raul-bocanegra-resigns-1511803852-htmlstory.html\">resigned\u003c/a> after several female staffers said he had groped them. State Sen. Tony Mendoza \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article186707628.html\">lost his chairmanship\u003c/a> of a powerful committee after people who worked for him said he repeatedly invited young female employees to come to his house or a hotel room late at night. Assemblyman Matt Dababneh is \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-matt-dababneh-harassment-20171204-story.html\">denying a lobbyist’s accusation\u003c/a> that he trapped her in a bathroom and made her watch him masturbate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”mGbJPj3ZxHakZD1xercWZ7UtkpkfjDBO”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women confronting abuse in their professional lives are now also fighting to keep their positions in a male-dominated field. After Hicks heard from the client who said senators didn’t want women coming out for drinks, she says she and her business partner sprang into action behind the scenes: They called the senator and other legislators to make plain that discriminating against women lobbyists would worsen the Capitol’s sexism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, Hicks said, the senator apologized and assured them he would not bar women from the kinds of meetings he holds with men. The lobbyists, in turn, told him they would not reveal his name so long as the threatened ban never came to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet whispers endure about California lawmakers implementing a “Mike Pence” rule—a reference to the vice president’s custom of eating a meal with a woman or attending an event where alcohol is served only if his wife accompanies him. Two male lobbyists, who spoke on condition of anonymity to convey private conversations with legislators, said they’ve heard from male lawmakers who say they’ll no longer meet alone with any woman—whether a lobbyist, staff member or constituent. They see it as a way to guard their reputations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others called that a needless overreaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”Qcps4KrPIJnOzWMlN7gUdWn0OIZ4i9YF”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anybody who is behaving like a moral adult shouldn’t worry about that,” said Assemblywoman Laura Friedman, a Democrat from Glendale who is chairing the Assembly committee tasked with updating sexual harassment policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she has not heard any discussion among her colleagues about male lawmakers refusing to meet alone with women: “Most of us are grown up enough to know the way we should be behaving, and what is acceptable … and when you are crossing some lines.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week Dababneh, a Democratic assemblyman from Woodland Hills, was accused of crossing those lines early last year while attending a party at a Las Vegas hotel. Lobbyist Pamela Lopez said he trapped her in a bathroom and made her watch him masturbate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dababneh released a statement calling Lopez’s claim a “falsehood” and saying he looks forward to clearing his name. The Assembly has hired a law firm to investigate her claim, and Speaker Anthony Rendon said in a statement that he will ask Dababneh to resign if the investigation finds the allegation is true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”q66oYGe7XyyzqykWccgVQt6OY0NWgRho”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez, a partner in a small lobbying firm that represents firefighters and Indian tribes, had described the incident to reporters in October without naming the lawmaker involved. She publicly accused Dababneh on Monday, almost two years after she alleges the incident took place. She said she did not report it for so long because she feared retaliation—public officials who would stop meeting with her, clients who could cut off business, “slut-shaming” whispers in the Capitol hallway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So much of the business of politics is based on relationships,” Lopez said in an interview. “So if I am shunned informally that really affects my business and my ability to do my job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joining Monday’s press conference was a Democratic activist from the San Fernando Valley who also described being harassed by Dababneh. Jessica Yas Barker, who worked for Dababneh in a congressional office before he was elected to the Assembly, said he routinely made comments about her appearance, boasted about his sexual prowess and showed off a desk drawer full of condoms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w1dkYt_YYI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the women went public, rumors had swirled in political circles that they were preparing to name Dababneh. Barker said she began to feel the backlash even before they held their press conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A message — sent through a platform for creating anonymous emails — began circulating that defamed her and others speaking out against harassment, saying “hypocrisy, puritanism, and a witch hunt hit Sacramento.” At an event held by a San Fernando Valley Democratic club over the weekend, Barker said other participants wouldn’t even look her in the face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez said she feels empowered now to speak out because of the collective action by so many women — and because she is an owner of her lobbying firm. She’s nervous about losing business, but she doesn’t have to worry about a boss firing her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope my clients see that I am one tough lady and I’m not to be messed with,” she said. “And that’s a good quality to have in a lobbyist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Assemblyman Matt Dababneh is \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-matt-dababneh-harassment-20171204-story.html\">denying a lobbyist’s accusation\u003c/a> that he trapped her in a bathroom and made her watch him masturbate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Women confronting abuse in their professional lives are now also fighting to keep their positions in a male-dominated field. After Hicks heard from the client who said senators didn’t want women coming out for drinks, she says she and her business partner sprang into action behind the scenes: They called the senator and other legislators to make plain that discriminating against women lobbyists would worsen the Capitol’s sexism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, Hicks said, the senator apologized and assured them he would not bar women from the kinds of meetings he holds with men. The lobbyists, in turn, told him they would not reveal his name so long as the threatened ban never came to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet whispers endure about California lawmakers implementing a “Mike Pence” rule—a reference to the vice president’s custom of eating a meal with a woman or attending an event where alcohol is served only if his wife accompanies him. Two male lobbyists, who spoke on condition of anonymity to convey private conversations with legislators, said they’ve heard from male lawmakers who say they’ll no longer meet alone with any woman—whether a lobbyist, staff member or constituent. They see it as a way to guard their reputations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others called that a needless overreaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anybody who is behaving like a moral adult shouldn’t worry about that,” said Assemblywoman Laura Friedman, a Democrat from Glendale who is chairing the Assembly committee tasked with updating sexual harassment policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she has not heard any discussion among her colleagues about male lawmakers refusing to meet alone with women: “Most of us are grown up enough to know the way we should be behaving, and what is acceptable … and when you are crossing some lines.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week Dababneh, a Democratic assemblyman from Woodland Hills, was accused of crossing those lines early last year while attending a party at a Las Vegas hotel. Lobbyist Pamela Lopez said he trapped her in a bathroom and made her watch him masturbate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dababneh released a statement calling Lopez’s claim a “falsehood” and saying he looks forward to clearing his name. The Assembly has hired a law firm to investigate her claim, and Speaker Anthony Rendon said in a statement that he will ask Dababneh to resign if the investigation finds the allegation is true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez, a partner in a small lobbying firm that represents firefighters and Indian tribes, had described the incident to reporters in October without naming the lawmaker involved. She publicly accused Dababneh on Monday, almost two years after she alleges the incident took place. She said she did not report it for so long because she feared retaliation—public officials who would stop meeting with her, clients who could cut off business, “slut-shaming” whispers in the Capitol hallway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So much of the business of politics is based on relationships,” Lopez said in an interview. “So if I am shunned informally that really affects my business and my ability to do my job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joining Monday’s press conference was a Democratic activist from the San Fernando Valley who also described being harassed by Dababneh. Jessica Yas Barker, who worked for Dababneh in a congressional office before he was elected to the Assembly, said he routinely made comments about her appearance, boasted about his sexual prowess and showed off a desk drawer full of condoms.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/4w1dkYt_YYI'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/4w1dkYt_YYI'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Before the women went public, rumors had swirled in political circles that they were preparing to name Dababneh. Barker said she began to feel the backlash even before they held their press conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A message — sent through a platform for creating anonymous emails — began circulating that defamed her and others speaking out against harassment, saying “hypocrisy, puritanism, and a witch hunt hit Sacramento.” At an event held by a San Fernando Valley Democratic club over the weekend, Barker said other participants wouldn’t even look her in the face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lopez said she feels empowered now to speak out because of the collective action by so many women — and because she is an owner of her lobbying firm. She’s nervous about losing business, but she doesn’t have to worry about a boss firing her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope my clients see that I am one tough lady and I’m not to be messed with,” she said. “And that’s a good quality to have in a lobbyist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
