"@raeoflion found over 160 cases over the past decade in which the person voluntarily reporting to police turned into the suspect...Each case was complicated, accounts riddled w/ trauma misunderstood, mischaracterized and twisted by law enforcement into a crime." - @guardian
Innocent until proven guilty, right? Not always, especially if you’re truthfully reporting a sexual assault. In communities across the U.S., rapists get to walk while their victims end up with a rap sheet. Watch #VictimSuspect, streaming on @Netflix. @fancynancynyc@raeoflion

"My most startling discovery: It’s police who lie. And those lies can be used to gaslight and confuse reporting victims until they make inconsistent statements that undercut their credibility – and sometimes even make them recant." @raeoflion@reveal ➡ https://t.co/BFBCAQoRlz
When reporting a sexual assault, consider having another person with you when interacting with the police — either a lawyer, a victim’s advocate, or both. https://t.co/edpRKoQGVS #VictimSuspect @bristolren
We hope our nomination brings attention to the narratives within our film, inspiring positive shifts in how survivors are treated when they come forward about sexual assault. #VictimSuspect#Netflix
With an oath to protect, serve, and… accuse? Our film is a terrifying peek into a dark corner of the U.S. justice system that few know existed. Stream now on @netflix. https://t.co/gPUklLR0qG #VictimSuspect
The sad truth? In some U.S. counties, reporting a sexual assault won’t get you justice—AND may land the survivor with a criminal record. See details in our #documentary#VictimSuspect — now streaming on #netflix. https://t.co/gPUklLR0qG @raeoflion@fancynancynyc
