A letter signed by Ashley Biden to U.S. District Court Judge Laura Taylor Swain further confirms the validity of the Biden daughter’s diary. In the diary, Ashley Biden recalls showering naked with her father as a young girl. She goes on to grapple with the thought that she was likely molested. The admission was made as part of the sentencing of Aimee Harris, the woman accused of stealing and selling Ashley Biden’s diary.
“Was I molested? I think so — I can’t remember specifics but I do remember trauma. Hyper-sexualized @ a young age . . . I remember being somewhat sexualized with Caroline; I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/my dad (probably not appropriate),” the diary reads. While the First Daughter’s writings have not been made public in their entirety, some excerpts of the diary have leaked to the media.
In the letter to Judge Swain, Ashley Biden states that Harris’s theft and sale of her diary “constitute one of the most heinous forms of bullying, not to mention a complete violation of my privacy and personal dignity.” Biden claims that even though the diary’s theft and public propagation occurred more than three years ago, she is “constantly re-traumatized by it.” While acknowledging the diary is hers, the First Daughter claims individuals have used its contents to “misinterpret my once-private writings and lob false accusations that defame my character and those of the people I love.”
Joe Biden‘s Department of Justice (DOJ) has also corroborated the veracity of the Ashley Biden diary. According to the DOJ, the stolen diary was part of a haul that included tax records, private family photographs, and a personal cellphone. Aimee Harris has been sentenced to one month in prison and three months home detention for the diary theft.
