The social media moment has shown us how many women have experienced sexual harassment, assault or gender bias.
Emily Roll Moore was a young Fairview woman who struggled with life. She had a family, went to school, was a gifted writer and was the fashionista of her family. She was a mother, a daughter, a sister, a wife.
But she also had a past that haunted her, a series of events that she experienced in elementary school in upstate New York, that colored her days and nights.
She was sexually assaulted by a man connected to her grade school.
The assault changed her. It affected her relationships. It made her hurt herself.
Moore died several years ago at the age of 31 as a complication of anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder that Moore and her family believed was brought on by her childhood sexual abuse.
Her mother, Carolynn Roll, says #MeToo on behalf of her daughter, because her daughter can no longer say it herself.
