I’m very proud to say after dealing with a public indecent assault not long ago, I worked with police to collect CCTV and account evidence, which led to the identification and arrest of a serial offender.
I’m speaking about this publicly, because instead of normalising going to the media to talk about assault, we need to normalise making police reports. Trial by media doesn’t just hurt the falsely accused, it hurts real victims who suffer because a predator was never put away.
I’ve just released a very important video on the subject with my friend Evelyn, who worked as an officer investigating sexual crimes for 12 years. She outlines how going to the media turns account evidence into hearsay, and how tools to catch predators are damaged in the process.
Please give it a watch if you get the chance. @_evelynrae
