Content note: this episode discusses sexual assault. Resident Legal Diva Melba Pearson — a survivor of college sexual assault and a former prosecutor — breaks down two cases shaking campuses: Jane Doe at Cornell and Kendall Francis at LSU. What is the difference between reporting to the school and to law enforcement? Why does a “voluntary intoxication loophole” in 19 states - including New York - keep prosecutors from charging? Which states have closed it? And what does trauma-informed interviewing actually look like? If you or someone you love needs support: RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline, 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) — free, confidential, 24/7.
