   On the same fall night in 2016 that the infamous Access Hollywood tape   
   featuring Donald Trump bragging about sexual assault was made public by   
   the Washington Post and dominated the news, an Alaska attorney, Moira   
   Smith, wrote on Facebook about her own experiences as a victim of sexual   
   misconduct in 1999.   
      
   "At the age of 24, I found out I'd be attending a dinner at my boss's   
   house with Justice Clarence Thomas," she began her post, referring to the   
   U.S. Supreme Court justice who was famously accused of sexually harassing   
   Anita Hill, a woman who had worked for him at two federal agencies,   
   including the EEOC, the federal sexual-harassment watchdog.   
      
   "I was so incredibly excited to meet him, rough confirmation hearings   
   notwithstanding," Smith continued.  "He was charming in many ways -- giant,   
   booming laugh, charismatic, approachable. But to my complete shock, he   
   groped me while I was setting the table, suggesting I should `sit right   
   next to him.' When I feebly explained I'd been assigned to the other table,   
   he groped again ... `Are you sure?' I said I was and proceeded to keep my   
   distance." Smith had been silent for 17 years but, infuriated by the "Grab   
   'em by the pussy" utterings of a presidential candidate, could keep quiet   
   no more.
