Vice President of Government Relations, Lisalyn Jacobs fielded questions on WTTG-TV, Fox in Washington, DC.
- On putting her past on trial: "It is very much a concern. We've already seen defense council trying to put the victim's past on display and trying to discredit the evidence before all the facts are known."
- On labeling her as a "stripper: "There is this attempt to label her solely as an exotic dancer, perhaps in an unfair attempt to suggest that some how she brought this on herself."
- On releasing her name: "We are talking about someone here who, if the facts as we know them are true, was the victim of a violent sexual assault. And whether or not she wants to go through that under the glare of the media and in the public eye I think would be here own personal choice."
