TRANSCRIPT:
Bruce Hines was here about twenty or so years ago. What I remember about him is that he was a sexual pervert. A pervert then, he’s probably a pervert now, still. That’s what Bruce Hines is—a pervert.
When I met Bruce Hines, he was holding a position that itself garnered respect. And as such, I respected him. We spoke a few times, chitchat, “good morning,” “good afternoon.” And there were a few instances on a bus—we would take a bus from our apartments to the office—and there were a few instances where he seemed to seek me out, like, he wanted to come and speak to me. And he came closer, and closer, and closer. And I turned to him to say, “Hello.” He didn’t speak to me at all. He just had this kind of faraway look, sweaty face and he got closer and closer until I noticed that he was rubbing up against me with an erect penis. And that was shocking .
But the look on his face, it was like—okay, I will say it—it was like a dog in heat. I’m telling you, it’s embarrassing to say that, but that was what it was like.
It was very perverted and very embarrassing. And I should have reported it. I didn’t report it for the reason that I, I was just—I was embarrassed. I was embarrassed for myself and I was embarrassed for him. And I didn’t really…I didn’t know how this would go if it came out in the open, like, that I’m imagining it or if he would acknowledge that: “Yeah, that was happening.”
And I could not be anywhere near him. So then, after that, I just avoided him. If I saw him get on the bus, I made sure that I was at the opposite end. If he was standing up, I made sure I sat down. If he was sitting down, I made sure I stood up and I was away from him. And he did come—sometimes come—start walking closer to me, and then I ditched and went somewhere else so that he couldn’t come near me, just to stay the heck away from him.
