It's probably more likely that she was shocked, upset, she says she started crying, and didn't think to ask. She probably also didn't feel the fear and the ramifications of testifying until later. I don't know whether she later asked to be moved, but her point is that she feels a 3rd party witness like her should be encouraged to offer testimony. How? By the administrator offering her incentives to testify. Just as police do. But in this case, the administrator implied she was overly sensitive because of her own past experiences. In other words, if a woman like her has been assaulted in the past, her testimony as a witness in another case is problematic. That's the crux of this whole article.
I hadn't looked at it that way.
