Modern Family star Sarah Hyland has come forward saying she was a victim of a sexual assault in high school.
The 27-year-old actress posted an emotional tweet detailing the assault using the hashtag #whyIdidn'treport, which has been trending ever since American President Donald Trump questioned why women didn't come forward with allegations sooner.
"He was a friend. It was New Year's Eve my senior year of high school. Everyone was drunk. He broke into the bathroom I was in. I hoped it was a dream but my ripped tights proved otherwise. I thought no one would believe me. I didn't want to be called dramatic. After all I didn't say no. Shock can do that to a person."
