Inspired by a female date rape survivor, the radio pundit says men must report sex assaults and learn to confront their experiences
Nearly 30 years ago, the award-winning radio host and political pundit Iain Dale was subjected to a traumatic
Sexual Assault – yet only now is he talking about his experience publicly.
Dale was in his late 20s, had not come out as gay and had only just become sexually active. “It was an attempted rape,” he told the Observer. “It lasted about 45 minutes in a very disgusting flat I had gone to with this man I met in a pub in north
London. If I had not been six feet two inches tall and weighed 15 stone, I would not have succeeded in pushing him off.”
