Admin’s Note

This news is very heavy, but I feel a sense of hope that the victims have found their voices and that justice has been served. I hope that by raising awareness about sexual violence, we can help even a few people who are suffering in similar ways. Additionally, it was striking to see the relief on the daughter’s face, and I’m curious about how she will continue to heal moving forward. I believe it’s important for society as a whole to offer support in this situation.
