Survivors of sexual assault face a broad spectrum of devastating injuries. While all injury victims struggle with the emotional effects of their physical injuries and physical limitations, survivors of sexual assault endure unique emotional injuries. These emotional injuries are made more complicated by the fact that the perpetrator is often someone the victim knew and trusted: a teacher, a camp counselor, a coworker, or a religious leader.
Investigating a sexual assault claim usually means looking for a lack of investigation somewhere. People are put into positions of power by organizations that fail to perform the simplest of background checks.
