Too many times sexual assault goes unreported for a variety of reasons and those involving celebrities, even more so.

My hope is that more victimized women will feel empowered to speak up when it happens to them and that law enforcement takes those reports more seriously.

I remember my first sexual assault.... I was about fourteen or fifteen years old and the perpetrator was an adult. I was told by law enforcement that "boys will be boys".

I did not mean to brush this incident off, just that when one has the kind of money Cosby, he can buy the best lawyers money can buy.

As for women getting victimized, I am totally with you on this.
