This was presumably a reference to Fowley, who died in January. ![]() “He spoke to every known living person who was there the night of my rape, save one.” She rose to major rock stardom as the teenage lead vocalist for the now-legendary all female rock band, The Runaways, which also included Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Sandy West and Jackie Fuchs. “Jason spoke to people I hadn’t thought about in years – people who didn’t like me, as well as those who did,” Fuchs said. Cherie Ann Currie was born on Novemin Los Angeles, California. I can only imagine what it must have been like to have watched it happen.”įuchs said that the reporter, Jason Cherkis, and a Huffington Post fact-checker had rigorously checked the facts of her account, especially after Rolling Stone published a cover story about campus rape at the University of Virginia that could not be corroborated, causing the magazine to issue a retraction and the school’s dean to pursue legal action against the magazine. It’s taken me years to talk about it without shame. “But if they don’t want to talk it about (sic), I respect that. “It would be nice if everyone who was there the night I was raped could talk about how it has affected them over the years,” Fuchs said. Jett said in her statement that she has not spoken with Fox “in decades”, and Currie said she would do whatever she could to prove that she had not witnessed the rape described by Fuchs. “All of us have been passive bystanders at some point in our lives.” “Being a passive bystander is not a ‘crime’,” she said. “By asserting that if they’d witnessed my rape, they’d have done something about it, they perpetuate the very myth I was trying to dispel when I decided to tell my story. “I only wish that if my bandmates can’t remember what happened that night – or if they just remember it differently – they would stick simply to saying that,” Fox said. “All I can say is if Joan, Sandy and I saw an unconscious girl being brutally raped in front of us, we would have hit him over the head with a chair,” she wrote on Facebook.įuchs said that she understood why people might not want to talk publicly about the incident. That same day, Currie said she had not seen the alleged rape either. Jett said on 10 July that she was “not aware of this incident”. ![]()
