"For years, [Tchiya] Amet had been trying to make the world listen to her account of a powerful man [Neil deGrasse Tyson] who had once assaulted her and derailed her life."

"Mainstream publications, including BuzzFeed News, were unable to adequately corroborate the events from so long ago, and did not publish her allegations. And internet commenters assailed her character and New Age lifestyle. Her claims may have stayed buried forever, if not for the women who saw in Amet’s story a shadow of their own. 'I saw that her credibility was being questioned in a way that honestly had a lot of racist and sexist and anti-religious undertones,' Allers said. 'I kinda figured if I had any credibility to lend to that so that she’s taken more seriously, I should do that.'"

From "Nobody Believed Neil deGrasse Tyson's First Accuser. Now There Are Three More/No one believed Tchiya Amet when she said Tyson had raped her in the 1980s. Now, three other women tell BuzzFeed News that he harassed them, including one who’s sharing her story publicly for the first time" (BuzzFeed).

What was the New Age religion that that seems to some people to discredit Amet? We're told that after the time of the alleged rape...
Amet would never return to science (though she tried, twice, to reenroll in graduate school, with a focus on historical African astronomy). She got married, homeschooled her two kids, moved into a small one-story house on an Indian reservation in Northern California, and then got divorced. She sang in a reggae band, and fully adopted a New Age way of thinking about the universe — rooted in energy, astrology, and ancient teachings, rather than science.

In 1995, as part of what she calls her spiritual healing, she changed her name to Tchiya Amet — which means “rebirth” and “truth” in Hebrew. “I did not want to identify with Staci — I wanted her to be dead,” Amet said.
Amet "wrote a rambling blog post, as fragmented and disjointed as her memories of the incident, titled “I Survived RAPE by Neil de Grasse Tyson; The Blue Lotus Speaks!”

From Neil de Grasse Tyson's own response:
For me, what was most significant, was that in this new life [30 years later], long after dropping out of astrophysics graduate school, [Amet] was posting videos of colored tuning forks endowed with vibrational therapeutic energy that she channels from the orbiting planets. As a scientist, I found this odd....
When does religion discredit a complainant? I don't think the answer should be when it seems flaky to people who would be deferential to a member of a mainstream, traditional religion. When a person adopts a new religion, it says something about what's been going on in that person's life, and a shift from centering in astrophysics to obviously unscientific ideas about planets and energy looks very significant, but which way is it significant? It could mean this person doesn't adhere to real-world facts, but can also raise inferences that something terrible happened to her and changed the course of her life. Whether the terrible something was Neil de Grasse Tyson is another matter.

If you have a criminal complaint against a man, you file a criminal charge or bring a civil suit.

Everything else is bullshit.

Why are you even entertaining the notion that trial by media ordeal is acceptable, prof?

The legal claims -- criminal and civil -- are barred by the statute of limitations.

I certainly disagree that that everything that could be a lawsuit must be a lawsuit and cannot be pursued in any other way, such as by writing and speaking in public and applying social pressure.

The vast majority of disputes that could be lawsuits do not become lawsuits but are dealt with in other ways. Perhaps you imagine a completely litigious society as a great society. If so, you have a poor imagination.

Shouting Thomas म्हणाले...

The word for what you are advocating is blacklisting and it's a very vicious, immoral business.

Let me add that your purported grievance that justifies blacklisting and trial by media is a Marxist confabulation of women as an oppressed group.

Tell me again how you're not a Marxist feminist.

And, your Marxist feminist grievance is bullshit. You are just assuming that that grievance has merit.

Shouting Thomas म्हणाले...

The reason why the complaint has passed beyond the statute of limitations is that the woman in question didn't bring a criminal charge or a civil suit within the statute of limitations.

You do believe in the rule of law, don't you?

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

I have a big problem with the 3 accusers business, because the 2 new allegations are so different from the very old one. I don't think stupid overfamiliarity in the work place — even where it is clearly sexual harassment — is much like drugging and raping a person in a private setting. You're not establishing a pattern of behavior, only a vague idea that this is a man who doesn't respect a woman's physical boundaries. But the 2 new allegations are probably forgivable. Stop doing that, you might say, and he agrees! He admits he did those things, shows his point of view, and resolves to be less familiar. The alleged rape, however, is something that you'd put a person in prison for doing, even once, and he denies that it happened.

What kind of nonsense is this? This is not "everything that could be a lawsuit." Accusing a man of rape is about the worst thing you can say about him, and, not just a crime, but a very, very serious felony. If you want to make that claim, go right to the police and prosecutor where actual evidence can be gathered. If you don't do that, then STFU, and certainly, years later STFU.

It could mean this person doesn't adhere to real-world facts, but can also raise inferences that something terrible happened to her and changed the course of her life.

The inferences can also go in the other direction - that attraction to and immersion in flaky New Age stuff suggests a susceptibility toward looking for an explanation for one's worldly failures/personal problems in a confabulated past trauma. Often based on a currently fashionable trauma-causer.

The point being that you don't know and can't know, and that speculating one way doesn't give grounds for doing what you seem to want women to be able to do - impose social penalties years after an alleged incident, when civil or criminal penalties can't be sought.

Robert Heinlein (no friend of religion) used to say that the difference between a respectable religion and a crazy sect was that you were born into a respectable religion and stayed there for the friends and familiarity and tradition. It didn't mean that you had thought about and adopted its unscientific dogma. But if you changed religions, it meant that you accepted its crazy beliefs. And when people believe crazy supernatural things, you have a sect.

One of the occupational hazards that streetwalkers face is rape. They are vulnerable to such a crime because their testimony is so easily discredited. Something like that dynamic might be going on with flakey New Agers. They exist on the margins and their very marginality makes them vulnerable. ...... Be a conformist in as many things as possible and accept the embrace of the herd. That's not necessarily the ticket to happiness, but it does lower your chances of being raped......I'd give the same advice to alpha males. They're not in danger of being raped, but if they stick out too much (heh,heh), they're in danger of being accused of rape.

mockturtle म्हणाले...

I was raped when I was 22. While it was traumatic, it did not derail my life. Like Christine Blasey Ford, this woman just wants to blame someone else for her failures.

I don’t like Neil deGrasse Tyson, but I did not believe Christine Blasey Ford and I do not believe Tchiya Amet. If she did not go to the police when it happened then she must not have felt that she was raped at the time. Actually her case is like the Columbia “Mattress Girl,” who thought she’d just had a bad experience with her boyfriend (anal sex is painful — who knew?) until someone convinced her that bad sex, even if consensual at the time, is rape.

Some crimes are credible more because of bulk than because of credibility. If just one or two women had come forward against Cosby, I'd be inclined to take his side of the story. Same thing with Weinsteiin. However, when dozens of unrelated women make similar complaints, you have to think there's something to the charges.......Tyson is still in the land of plausible denial. If more women come toward, his ham is cooked, or, at least, smoked. If it's just one or two women complaining about Indian handshakes, he can survive.

TickTock म्हणाले...

Tina Trent म्हणाले...

deGrasse Tyson, who is a ridiculous person, has claimed that his interactions with the other two accusers involved them misunderstanding the intent of a very special "Native American handshake" he gives to "special people." The handshake involves slipping one finger into the other person's palm while shaking hands and massaging the other person's palm with the errant finger.

None of us can know whether he is guilty of anything, but I think we can agree that this excuse is the least-self aware, nerdiest, and most cringing explanation for diddling a person -- in the ENTIRE solar system. It's also deeply anti-scientific, which calls into question deGrasse Tyson's claims of being the scientific-y, rational person in his interactions with these women.

Or, maybe, the first accuser dropped out of society and moved onto an Indian reservation because deGrasse Tyson's secret handshake really works. In any case, yuck.

William म्हणाले...

I just don't know about Woody Allen. There's doubtless some kind of kink in his libido, but I would not convict him of the crime he was accused He's worked with dozens of young women over the years, but only one has come forward with a story, and that story points to creepy rather than illegal behavior. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt, Due process and all that. Same with Tyson.

There is no evidence that Ford ever even met Kavanaugh, other than her statements, and she does not claim he raped her. Amet was a black graduate student a few years younger than Tyson, who was introduced to him by the University. Tyson has claimed they "dated" briefly. She says they hung out together, as friends, until one day he drugged and raped her.

The issue could be slander. Simply being accused could cause de Grasse to be blacklisted from public speaking or other events, pressured to resign his position, cause donors to stop giving to the Hayden Planetarium, etc. The accuser does not have to show any proof to do damage to de Grasse Tyson.

If I were accused of rape, you can be sure I would engage an attorney and sue the complainant!

Robert Cook म्हणाले...

"I do not believe Tchiya Amet. If she did not go to the police when it happened then she must not have felt that she was raped at the time."

You show your lack of awareness. Many women are raped and do not report it, for many reasons: they're ashamed or traumatized; they're fearful of being disbelieved, or being called "crazy," or being blamed for whatever may have happened; they're fearful of ruining their own lives or the lives of their families for making public accusations; they're fearful of reprisals; they're fearful of being accused of just wanting to destroy the other person's life; the person who raped them is a family member or someone they know or someone of great authority or prominence; they just want the experience to "go away" so they refuse to acknowledge it; and so on.

He has a real PhD. However, his scientific work not been very productive or influential. He is a popularizer of science, and a celebrity, and so the media and public know his name and not those of the people doing the real scientific work.

Most celebrity scientists are like that--their media influence is all out of proportion to their scientific influence.

Exceptions: Einstein and Hawking. In the 20th and 21st centuries anyway. There are other real scientists who have achieved celebrity but not very many and not all that well-known, not so much as Neil deGrasse Tyson.

2. Being male or female is just mental
3. Believe all women. Women don’t lie about rape.
4. Blacks males are railroaded in our justice system
5. Some males are important for the cause, so accusations against them are ignored, except if their are multiple accusers (Weinstein). Minnesota attorney general, NJ Senator, Clinton, etc.
6. Kavanaugh lied and should be impeached.
7. Pence rules discriminate against females.

Based on the rules, Tyson should be ok unless more accusers come forward since he has the right politics and is Black.

Absolutely. Tyson will be treated reasonably fairly by all but the most committed gender-determines-guilt practitioners because he's (a) usefully left wing and (b) black. But after this everyone will use the same model and deviations will further discredit the practice.

On a separate note I'm not sure what the complainants expect to achieve. We have a legal process designed specifically to handle these complaints. You chose not to use it and now want to create an entirely new process which omits basics (starting with an investigation) and expect us to punish him anyway?

@Cookie, is there a point where you choose to live in the real world? Once upon a time police departments were skeptical of rape claims and once upon a time a good defense attorney would make the victim appear to have been "asking for it." But by the 1980s this sort of thing was very much in the rear view mirror. She could have gone to the police and received a sympathetic hearing. She didn't. If she's suffering, well, she had her chance and blew it.

I don't disbelieve Amet because she's into New Age BS (I'll let Crack do that). But after 30 years it's all he said - she said and there's no more reason to believe her than there is to disbelieve him.

"You call that religion? Really?"

They tell us Oprah is NewAge. OSHO from "Wild, Wild Country" fame was NewAge. Jim Jones preached NewAge from his San Francisco pulpit before killing 900 people.

But - after 40 years of this nonsense - do they ever tell you what NewAge is? WHere's the 60 Minutes expose? (Oprah works for them now). Where's all the documentaries on it? They don't exist. We're on our own - with the NewAge feeding on us.

WHere's Crack?

Watching you grapple with the reality I've left you, because I knew you'd have to - eventually.

Buzzfeed has edited the piece to change "historical African astronomy" to "ancient astronomy." Must be a story there.
