Vanessa Tyson has received an outpouring of support from fellow academics in the days since she publicly came forward with allegations of sexual assault against Virginia Lt. Gov. It continues:This evidence makes clear as well that people who report sexual assault stand to gain nothing and, in fact, risk a great deal. Vanessa has fought hard to carve out a career as a woman of color in academia. [...] Such a woman would not risk her career and reputation for anything less than a grave injustice. Colleagues and friends have also rallied around Tyson on social media using the hashtag #IBelieveVanessaTyson.
