"Research in Australia has found rape myths are routinely relied on in rape trials, not only by defence lawyers, but also by prosecutors, judges, juries and police."
When it comes to #Rape cases involving a celebrity, the media too often miss the point
When the media reports on rape cases, particularly high-profile ones, they are still frequently leaning on #RapeMyths that only harm victim-survivors

Survivors of childhood sexual abuse deserve a chance to hold their abuser accountable — and now, we finally have the opportunity to deliver it.
We’ve been trying to pass statute of limitations reform to give these survivors their day in court for years — but it’s been inexplicably blocked by Senate Republicans every step of the way.
But in January, it’ll be one of my top priorities to make sure survivors have the ability to confront their abusers in court and finally see the accountability they deserve.
Our Democratic legislative majority will finally get this done for them.

I am glad to see accountability for Brand and Walliams, but I worry that the festival of hindsight misses the fact that these men only faced consequences when their professional value had collapsed, and right now a successful man is probably getting with similar.
A policy is only as good as the practice behind it.
When the CPS failed to robustly challenge a sexsomnia defence in my case, I challenged that failure. They acknowledged their mistake and took steps to learn from it. Because accountability must go beyond admitting mistakes. It must change what happens next.
