The wife of
Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang says she was sexually assaulted by a doctor (an OB-GYN) while she was pregnant with the couple's first child.
Evelyn Yang said in an interview televised Thursday by
CNN that the assault happened in 2012, and she was initially afraid to tell anyone.
"Something about being on the trail and meeting people and seeing the difference that we've been making already has moved me to share my own story about it, about sexual assault," she told CNN.
