Kinda slow on this one, but the play by Ford was to use an event that she KNEW didn't occur with Kav to slander and smear him. The protection is that she thinks she can play dumb as to WHO it was who "assaulted" her. I'm guessing these guys calling in will claim some kind of prank/fooling around occurred and that Ford was not bothered by it at all.
I hope they can prove she's a lying cunt who knew exactly what story she was spinning.
