Reades attorney told the NewsHour that Reade recalls the assault happening in a semiprivate area like an alcove and that it was somewhere between the Russell (building) and/or Capitol building. He pointed out that survivors often have difficulty with specifics about trauma.
Reades description aligns with other staffers recollections of Bidens short indoor route between his office and the Capitol. It is a roughly 10-minute walk that consists of one flight of stairs and one long hallway inside the Russell Building, followed by a wide tunnel through which he could walk or take an internal subway train to the Capitol.
The layout of that route and building has not changed. A recent walk through that area showed the subway tunnel contains no out-of-view areas, like an alcove. The remaining portion of the route includes multiple stairwells as well as corridors lined with offices. It is a main thoroughfare for senators and staffers.
Some former staffers told the NewsHour that if Biden did assault Reade in any of these places, it would have been a brazen attack in an area with a high risk of being seen.

The thing about Reade's accusations is that it's so full of holes, lies, and inconsistencies.. and the "Tic Toc" Timing is obviously only done to knock Joe Biden out of the race.
