Jaw-dropping piece by Jason Cherkis for The Huffington Post about '70s rockers The Runaways, in which former bassist Jackie Fox (nee Jackie Fuchs) details being drugged and raped by Svengali/manager Kim Fowley in a motel room full of people, including bandmates Cherie Currie and Joan Jett. That crowds witnessing horrific acts do not intervene is a phenomenon rich in history. But the callousness that followed -- particularly by Joan -- is as disgusting as it is heartbreaking. Fuchs credits victims of Bill Cosby coming forward for finally having the courage to talk publicly about something she has carried around for decades. Perhaps one good thing did come out of the disgraced comic's vile behavior. Read HERE.
