Imagine finding a coworker naked on the floor after being raped by the boss. I don't understand why anyone would cover for someone in this manner.

Some traumas are so unbearable and unthinkable that the mind responds this way as a defense. Imagine abuse survivors with suppressed/repressed memories. Those flight or flight responses are certainly plausible. The part that I don’t understand is how she continued working there for a year without reporting...? Maybe she was advised by a lawyer or law enforcement in hopes of gathering evidence or support? I’m trying to wrap my head around that...
