TOPEKA, Kan. — Speaking on the Kansas Senate floor last week, Sen. Cindy Holscher told a story she had never shared publicly in her life — one that she had not even told her own parents.
The Overland Park Democrat told her colleagues that when she was a young girl a man who worked as a farmhand for her family attempted to sexually assault her, catching her alone and urging her to play Simon Says “like adults” with him.
“He was using his words and my trust as a form of manipulation to endanger me,” Holscher said. “He said your friend Julie plays this game with me.”
