Imagine you're a sexual assault survivor. And you're out for a jog. And listening to music in earbuds. And someone you don't know grabs your arm. And this happens. And then the Chief of Police implies that you're lucky you weren't raped by the man who grabbed you.

I do not understand why this woman is famous or admired, at all. The music sucks, the look sucks, she's like 80 and tries to appeal to tween culture, and... yeah, I have just never gotten it and still don't. Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, is the only Fergie.

I credit this to a combination of me being an unusually strong and self-aware child; having and otherwise secure and healthy family…

You make a key point. It seems like he is a sociopath, so of course he doesn't think he did anything wrong, and he probably mistakes his sexual obsession with young girls for "love."
