In this episode Survivor Anna details her experience of stealthing following a date with a man she men online, and her subsequent fight for justice through civil and criminal proceedings.
We discuss the events that occurred including the stealthing, the subsequent actions f herself and the perpetrator and how reaching out to a Rape relief shelter was one of the smartest things she did.
Some of Anna's experiences with law enforcement following her rape have highlighted the embedded misogyny that still prevails today in society, and has shown so many that stealthing is not seen as a crime in the eyes of many law enforcement officials.
Thank you for sharing your story Anna, and for fighting as hard as you are for yourself, your own justice, and ultimately women everywhere. You are a true inspiration.
