A student who worked with L. Douglas Wilder at the Virginia Commonwealth University school named for the former governor reported to the university and police that Wilder sexually harassed her by kissing her without consent. The woman, Sydney Black, 22, said Wilder, 88, also suggested she could live at his house and offered to take her on foreign trips and pay for her law school in 2017, while she still worked as an office assistant at the L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs. VCU officials cited privacy concerns and declined to answer a series of detailed questions.

No where in the article does it mention his affiliation...so I expect it is Democratic...just another one of them thinking with his ´member´ instead of his brain...

Had to do my own investigation to find out that, shocker, he’s a democrat. You can always tell it’s a Democrat in trouble when the article curiously fails to include the politician’s political party affiliation. When it’s a republican, it’s put in the article title.

Wow they put not one mention of the party. If this was a Republican it would be all over the headline and article. Typical.

More than being a democrat, he´s a black democrat. That´s 2 protected classes.

FTA: "“I had to choose being a woman over being black,” she said."
You should expose it because what he did was wrong, period.

Virginia again. Sorry, but the irony is overwhelming. Rename the state. I´m open to suggestions because I´d probably get locked out if I went there .

You can´t blame the old lecher, she´s a cutie pie.
They let George H. W. Bush get away with the butt patting because of his age.

#10, the state is named for Queen Elizabeth the First because she was known as the Virgin Queen.
I lived in Virginia for 25 years and am glad to be out of there. It’s a beautiful state but over those years it went from solidly red to purplish-blue.

Well, what was she expecting, going to work at the "L. Douglas Wilder (that´s WILDer) School of Government and Public Affairs (that´s AFFAIRS)"?
Too afraid, i expect, to accuse the famous old Democrat... until now?

"first elected African American governor of any state"
Governor of Virginia: 1990
African American Pinckney Stewart Pinchback
Governor of Louisiana: December 1872
Pinckney was a Republican, so apparently he didn´t count

Not surprising, at all. And yes, Wilder is the Dem. Never trusted or like the man, at all.

A woman scorned is one thing. But a black woman scorned, leads to accusations and reparations.

Very skeptical about this. Wilder is one of the good guys, even if Democrat. I´m more like #11 7 #14 in my first reaction. These women may be just trying to get in the headlines.

I never heard any complaints on Wilder, he was a great governor. He was non partisan. He was well liked by both sides of the aisle. I’m shocked.

Why would a 20 year old with a lot of college friends spend their birthday with a old man?
Waited nearly two years to report the incident. Maybe he didn´t cooperate with her ´demands´
Nobody knows but the two of them and if she was drunk, does she know?
