In A Crowded Theater, She Accused Neil DeGrasse Tyson Of Rape.

Her mic cut out before she had finished accusing Neil deGrasse Tyson of sexual assault
...
I dont know how I did that, Amet, now a natural health therapist and wellness coach, told HuffPost recently. I have a very soft voice.

It was April 21, 2010. Tyson was doing a Q&A segment at a NOVA scienceNOW Cosmic Conversation event at San Franciscos Palace of Fine Arts Theatre. There, in front of a live audience, with NOVA executive producer Paula Apsell watching, Amet confronted the famous astrophysicist.

Im here in honor of all the people that you raped, assaulted, harassed, violated, denied, she said, and for the lives that you affected and for the lives of their parents and their friends and everyone that was involved when you were a TA in grad school at UT Austin in 1984 including myself.

The alleged rape didnt occur until fall 1984. Thirty years later, in June 2014, Amet described the incident in a report filed with the Austin Police Department. Her name was redacted in the document, which Amet provided to HuffPost:

Police Report

Redacted] stated that the assault occured [sic] in the Fall of 84 in unknown apartments near 26th/Guadalupe; possibly 2607 San Gabriel but unsure. [Redacted] stated that she and Tyson were attending school at the University of Texas when she and Tyson were going to study on this unknown date. stated that Tyson handed her a glass of water (possibly contained a date rape drug). [Redacted] stated that she had had blacked out. Upon coming to, [Redacted] found herself naked on a bed with Tyson performing oral sex on her without her consent. [Redacted] then stated that Tyson realized that she had come to when he suddenly then got on top of her (naked as well) and penetrated his penis into her vagina. I asked [Redacted] if Tyson had climaxed or how many times did he thrust into her but she stated that she soon blacked out again. [Redacted] then woke up in another place the following day unsure of what had happened.

[Redacted] stated that she waited so long to report this because she had been advised numerous times by numerous people that Tyson was a high profile person and that no one would believe her or that Tyson would sue her for defamation of character. They all told her that Tyson would ruin her life in all kinds of ways once realized that it was reported. [Redacted] response to them was that Tyson had already ruined her life for over thirty years and continues to do so with all of the pain an [sic] anguish. [Redacted] finally built up the courage to do so after being helped by several help groups of violence etc.

Tyson was just a random postgraduate student in 1984. he wasn't high profile. wtf?

She likely found the strength to want to confront him about it years later, when he would have had more of a career then.

This lady accusing him of rape is black.

The lady who he invited to his hotel room for sex is white

The lady who was physically assaulted by him is white. Theres photographic evidence.

The new season of Cosmos needs to be canceled or have him edited out.

So most of these are advances which were rebuked and he didn't force himself onto them after being rebuked?

Everything is rape to radical feminists. Not good enough to call someone out for being a creep before, it is about lying and burying someone so they can't ever make a living and die on a park bench. Unless we are talking about issues in certain countries, then we ignore sexual assault issues.

i sincerely hope no one ever drugs you and forcefully penetrates you because i can only imagine the nightmarish cognitive dissonance as you try to convince yourself you weren't raped

This bastard needs to go down.

Why doesn't she yell to... ya know... the cops? This crap is outta hand.

Believe all women

These need to be taken seriously and I hope it goes to court.

She can take it to court in which case nobody should automatically dismiss it. Auto due process and then when the case is tried then after the verdict we then decide.

But just throwing it into the wind without any sort of indication of pursuing this legally then it should cast doubt automatically because that is a Red Flag.

I can't believe this. I hope it's not true, he seemed like an alright guy.

believe all victims

Doesn't mean auto-incriminate all accused

Definitely needs to be investigated.

So it's suddenly an issue when a white woman complains.

With regard to Amets allegations, Tyson said that he and Amet briefly dated, were intimate only a few times and suggested that a false memory had been placed in her head, because the rape never actually happened. In what appeared to be an attempt to cast doubt on Amets credibility, the astrophysicist went on to note that she posts videos showcasing colored tuning forks endowed with vibrational therapeutic energy, a behavior he called odd.
