Actress Teri Hatcher has written to Donald Trump about her own sexual assault after the president mocked a woman accusing his Supreme Court nominee of a sex crime.

Hatcher, who played Lois Lane in the hit 1990s show The New Adventures of Superman and starred in Desperate Housewives, posted an open letter on Instagram setting out her memories of her own sexual assault experience.

"Mr President, I'd like to take this opportunity to weigh in on the process of recalling a sexual assault," she wrote.

In the post, she gave details of the assault and some of the exchange she had with her unnamed attacker.

She wrote: "He said 'do you like how this feels?' I said, 'no'. He said 'someday you will'."


She then lists details of the things she is unable to remember from the assault as time has passed.

"Here's what I do NOT remember," she wrote.

"The address of where it happened. How I got there. How I got home.

"What day or month it was. If anyone was drinking beer."

Directly addressing Mr Trump, she adds: "Mr President, I am a survivor, who stands available to help you understand the way the memories of a trauma like that work.

"It might be hard for you to understand. I can readily explain in detail that 'I don't remember' is often the most honest response surrounding questions of an assault.

"It does NOT mean it didn't happen.

"Please do not add 'mocked by president' to the injury list of a sexual survivor. It's just plain wrong."

Her post comes after Professor Christine Blasey Ford claimed Brett Kavanaugh, then aged 17, sexually assaulted her when she was aged 15 in Maryland in 1982.

She has said she cannot remember the precise date or location of the alleged assault or how she got home afterwards, but provided details of her alleged assault.

She was mocked by Mr Trump at a rally, who imitated her and said: ""What neighbourhood was it in? I don't know. Where's the house? I don't know. Upstairs, downstairs, where was it? I don't know. But I had one beer. That's the only thing I remember."

Mr Kavanaugh, 53, a judge on the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals nominated for the Supreme Court by Mr Trump, denies any wrongdoing.

The FBI has conducted a background investigation into sexual misconduct claims.

The chairman of the Senate judiciary committee says the FBI found "no hint of misconduct" in its investigation.

However, Democrats have complained that the FBI's reopening of its Kavanaugh background check has been far too limited, leaving out contact with crucial potential witnesses.
