Society often ignores Black girls' sexual trauma — and that the R. Kelly trial, coming after 25 years of allegations, highlights the "stark difference" in response to victims of color. "We are socialized to respond to the vulnerability of white women,"

"There is a segment of society who will never see what Kelly did as a crime, including Bill Cosby, who is defending him now. This is why Kelly got away with what he did for so long."

We believe reporting should always be your choice. While some survivors choose reporting the sexual assault, not all find that path therapeutic or helpful.
.
Kentucky mandatory reporting laws cover the suspected or known abuse or neglect of a minor or vulnerable adult.

“It feels like a Herculean effort to come forward. And what is so insidious are the people that protect the harassers. And the burden of proof is on the accuser. The Cuomo case tells me that there is so much more work to be done.”

People who harm others only get away with it because our culture operates within systems that allow for it.
