Broadcast journalist Connie Chung said on Wednesday that she had been a victim of sexual assault at the hands of a family doctor roughly 50 years ago.
Chung said that the incident occurred during the 1960s when she visited the doctor at his home to receive an Iud. Chung said that the physician — the same one who delivered her as a child in 1942 — used the opportunity to sexually assault her.
“While I stared at the ceiling, his right index finger massaged my clitoris. With his right middle finger inserted in my vagina, he moved both fingers rhythmically,” Chung wrote in the Washington Post. “He coached me verbally in a soft voice, ‘Just breathe. ‘Ah-ah,’ mimicking the sound of soft breathing. ‘You’re doing fine,’ he assured me.”
