Exclusive: 1996 court document confirms Tara Reade told of harassment in Biden’s office

A court document from 1996 shows former Senate staffer Tara Reade told her ex-husband she was sexually harassed while working for Joe Biden in 1993.

The declaration — exclusively obtained by The Tribune in San Luis Obispo, California — does not say Biden committed the harassment nor does it mention Reade’s more recent allegations of sexual assault.

Reade’s then-husband Theodore Dronen wrote the court declaration. Dronen at the time was contesting a restraining order Reade filed against him days after he filed for divorce, Superior Court records show.

In it, he writes Reade told him about “a problem she was having at work regarding sexual harassment, in U.S. Senator Joe Biden’s office.”

Wellllllll, I guess that sinks the "false memory" claim against the women who have been saying that Reade told them about the incident. This is not proof it happened, only that Reade told people at the time - evidently, lots of people. Unlike Blasey Ford who told no one until 3 decades later, but was instantly believed by the Dems, MSM, and #MeToo'ers.

   Unveiled Court Document Confirms Tara Reade Reported Biden Sexual Harassment in 1996
By Eric Lendrum • May 8, 2020

A newly-unveiled court document from 1996 appears to further corroborate Tara Reade’s claims of sexual harassment against her by then-Senator, and now Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, as reported by the New York Post.

The document was first obtained by The Tribune in San Luis Obispo, which is where Reade’s mother was confirmed to have been living at the time of the alleged assault. The document is from Reade’s divorce from then-husband Theodore Dronen, and features Dronen confirming that she had told him about enduring sexual harassment “in U.S. Senator Joe Biden’s office.”

“It was obvious that this event had a very traumatic effect on Reade,” the statement by Dronen reads, “and that she is still sensitive and effected by it today.”

This is the latest piece of corroborating evidence of Reade’s account, and one more concrete example of contemporaneous evidence involving someone who was told about the alleged assault around the time that it happened. Reade alleges that Biden sexually assaulted her in his Senate office in 1993 when they were alone, and that she left his employ shortly thereafter.
