Runaways' Jackie Fox Stands By Rape Allegation Article
. After the Huffington Post article "The Lost Girls" gained traction online, Fox's once-bandmates Joan Jett and Cherie Currie issued statements maintaining they were unaware of the incident. Fox, however, is sticking by her account. In a lengthy statement posted to her Facebook, she defended the reporter Jason Cherkis and alleged once again that her bandmates were fully aware of the incident. 'He spoke to every known living person who was there the night of my rape, save one," she wrote. 'All I can say about what was said and done is that my bandmates were children who'd witnessed something criminal and tragic," she continued. "I've no doubt they were dealing with it as best they were able. They had no responsible adults to guide them-only a rapist and his apologists." Still, Fox doesn't place the blame on Jett and Currie, unlike many readers' reactions to the article. Fox, who told Cherkis about her research into "the bystander effect," which he included in the story, empathizes with why Jett and Currie allegedly didn't intervene at the time of the incident.
