Victims of high profile offenders have a greater chance of securing justice because the press and social media will sound the alarm when additional victims step forward. But what if you are assaulted by someone without a big name? You’ll be accused of stalking the person if you go public with their shameful behavior and the likelihood you’ll hear of others who were harmed by the same offender is unlikely.

When the weapon used to defile you is fraud, in most states, you have zero chance of seeking justice. Trickery to violate your reproductive organs is not seen as a heinous act. The entire justice system heaps a crushing level of dismissal on your psyche, making you feel totally invisible! The dreadful pain of total invalidation and rejection by the very system that is supposed to recognize and protect you, makes recovery especially difficult.

Thank goodness some of his victims got to share their stories and the pain they endured. Justice was not served in this case. Victims of sexual assault rarely get the justice they deserve.
