I know how Professor Ford is feeling now, something similar happened to me 3 years ago. I reported mine early, at first everyone was saying how they believed me, then a few weeks later they were calling me a liar . After that incident I decided that it's best not to tell anyone, because you're automatically a liar in everyone's mind.
I don't trust anyone to help me, or even care,and they all determined that I was a liar because I didn't tell my female friend, but I told my sexual assault counselor.
