Former state lawmaker, lobbyist tell of sexual harassment, rape in Pierre

..."Spawn in a Facebook post and in a telephone interview with Argus Leader Media said she was raped by another person who works in the Capitol in March. She repeatedly told him she didn't want him to lie in her bed, to take off his clothes or to touch her.

But he repeatedly forced himself on her, causing pain that lasted days after the assault.

Spawn said she considered reporting the incident to police, but couldn't bring herself to do it. She said she worried people would judge her or wouldn't listen to her. She feels guilty now about not reporting the incident."
