A true story of sexual oppression, denial, and outrage. "...the trusted family doctor was also raping his patients..." 479 p.
In the early 1980's in Lovell, WY, women came forward with stories of having been raped or taken advantage of by the town's doctor. John Story, was highly respected within the community not only as a doctor, but as an elder in his church. The women he targeted were young, vulnerable, or considered minority citizens who wouldn't say anything or wouldn't be believed.
Story was able to "dilate" women for 25 years before enough of them finally got the courage to speak out and push for his license to be revoked. Thanks to the sheriff and the DA, the women were taken seriously and charges were brought against Story. During the investigation, it was discovered that over the years a handful of women had reported that Story had molested them, but were told to go home and be quiet about it, or just weren't believed.
Delving further into Story's background, it appeared that he molested over 100 women during his practice. The ensuing trial caused such division in the town, that it never recovered to its former close knit community. Jack Olsen did a wonderful job in researching the background of everyone involved, as well as the charges and trial of John Story.
