Two more women have come forward with stories of former Vice President Joe Biden touching them in ways that made them uncomfortable, making it four total allegations against the potential 2020 presidential candidate in the last week.

Caitlyn Caruso, a 22-year-old sexual assault survivor, told The New York Times on Tuesday that when she was a 19-year-old college student, she met Biden at an event on sexual assault at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Biden, she said, rested his hand on her thigh, even though she squirmed to indicate her discomfort. He also hugged her just a little bit too long. At the time, she said, she didnt say anything publicly about it, but it felt uncomfortable because she had just shared her story of sexual assault.

It doesnt even really cross your mind that such a person would dare perpetuate harm like that, Caruso told the Times .

She noted Biden was behind the 1994 Violence Against Women Act. These are supposed to be people you can trust.

D.J. Hill, a 59-year-old writer, said she met Biden in 2012 with her husband at a Minneapolis fundraising event. When she stepped up to take a photo with Biden, she said, he dropped his hand from her shoulder down her back, making her very uncomfortable, she told the Times. Her husband then put his hand on Bidens shoulder and said a joke to interrupt. Hill didnt say anything at the time, she said.

Only he knows his intent, Hill told the Times, noting she didnt know whether Biden knew she was uncomfortable. If something makes you feel uncomfortable, you have to feel able to say it.
