In broad daylight in 2020, Anna was violently attacked and sexually assaulted by a repeat offender who was released five separate times before finally being sentenced to prison. Despite the conviction, her case never appeared in the city’s public crime database. She’s now revealing how D.C. police systematically omit certain violent crimes from official stats—painting an artificially rosy picture of public safety.
Her full commentary piece detailing the attack, the city’s cover-up, and the policy implications will be published by the Washington Examiner at 5:00 AM tomorrow.
As President Trump moves forward with his promised federal crackdown on crime in D.C., Anna argues that without accurate crime reporting, policymakers and the public are being misled about the true scale of violence in the nation’s capital.
