You probably missed this in 1998:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 'Not Going to Comment' on 1998 Sexual Assault Allegations by Former Family Babysitter
In a Vanity Fair article published on Tuesday, July 2, Eliza Cooney claims the independent candidate for president, 70, made inappropriate advances towards her 26 years ago when she was employed by him.
According to the article, a then 23-year-old Cooney was hired as the Kennedys' part-time babysitter in the fall of 1998.
Cooney allegedly kept a diary, where she would document instances of Kennedy's unwanted sexual advances. One incident described in the article reportedly took place on the evening of Nov. 7, 1998, in the Kennedy family kitchen.
From everything everybody says about the Kennedys + their Babysitters, they had me worried. Like I have to watch out, be careful. And the other night in the kitchen w/ Murray I could have sworn he was touching my leg + hand, an excerpt read.
It seemed like he thought I was somebody else or wasnt paying attention. Like he would come to every once in a while and snap out of it or I would move away. It was like he was on something or really tired or was missing Mary or was testing me.
Now 48, Cooney also told Vanity Fair that on another occasion she found a shirtless Kennedy in her bedroom asking her to put lotion on his back. According to the former employee, the politician was in his mid-40s at the time.

you obviously don't see the virtue in enabling the election of a white supremacist, criminal madman

The attempts at restraint failed because there was little behind them to make them serious.
