Lara Logan in Egypt 

She was sexually assaulted back in 2011 when she was reporting from Egypt. About 200 to 300 guys were involved in the incident, which lasted about 25 minutes. Her camera’s battery died after she wrote about the festivities without incident for an hour.

When she later revealed that he had overheard the audience making inappropriate sexual remarks about her, one of the Egyptian C.B.S. crew members urged that they leave. She sensed hands on her and yelled “stop” as soon as the camera stopped working.

One person in the audience shouted that she was an Israeli Jew, which C.B.S. described as a “match to gasoline” despite being untrue. She claimed they stripped off her clothes and sexually assaulted her with their hands while using their mobile phones to take pictures.

She reported that when they began viciously pulling her hair, they were trying to rip portions of her scalp off as they began twisting her body in different directions.

She was led across the square to a location with a barrier barring the crowd and camping for women. One woman with a chador put her arms around Logan as the other ladies in the group formed a circle around her, and some of the males accompanying the women began throwing water over the crowd.

Then when a group of soldiers arrived, one of them tossed Logan over his shoulder as the others used batons to push back the mob. She claimed that throughout the attack, she believed she would die. The following day, she was flown back to the U.S., where she spent four days in the hospital.

When she got home, she received a call from President Barack Obama. The assailants’ identities are still unknown; according to C.B.S., no charges were likely to be brought against any of them.
