She was 16 when the man, who she did not name, “stuck his hand down my dress” in a taxi queue.
Ms Goldman, wife of chat host Jonathan Ross , 56, said she never thought it a big issue until she told daughters Honey, 20, and Betty, 26, who were “outraged”.
The Kick-Ass writer, 47, said: “I had anecdotes that that I thought were funny, about stuff that had happened to me
“But my daughters responded to them by saying, ‘You mean you were sexually assaulted?’”
She said “the band leant the incident a sort of absurdity” and led her to tell the tale humorously.
But in the Guardian, she said the girls’ reaction had been a wake-up call. She said: “Not any more. I thought, ‘Hang on, I should be as outraged as [my daughters] are’.
“In a society where a 16-year-old getting groped by a dude, while she’s waiting for a taxi, is considered a funny anecdote, I’m contributing by telling it like that
