    Rev. Dorinda Henry, 52, says the course of her life changed when she filed a sexual harassment complaint against her female boss who she says harassed her at work and forced sex on her during a visit to California. Her former boss, who denies ever harassing anyone, is a lesbian, as is Henry. Rather than keep the complaint secret, the boss publicly disclosed it to a news reporter, attributing it to a troublesome employee who was trying to blackmail her. Henry says she was destroyed by the resulting publicity. “What happens when the person who sexually harassed you, who forced themselves upon you is a woman? If you’re a woman, what then?” she asks. “Are you going to give me the benefit of the doubt that what happened happened; that it was not my choice; that it made me uncomfortable; that it directly impacted me emotionally and psychologically; that it impacted my life socially and politically and privately? That it impacted me in such a way that 20-some-odd years later, I’m triggered when I hear all this stuff about sexual harassment?” 205315
