When one voice comes forward, people feel less afraid.

I'll be honest with you, I don't think it's ever easy for people to come forward. These types of crimes, too, are so personal. And especially for men, it's kind of something that it has an extra layer.

If I can get pocket, what the eff do you think can happen to you?

For men, it's emasculating. Men are basically always taught to think like, oh, I'm strong. And if this happens to me, this is how I would handle it. And when you don't or when you're helpless or when something like this happens to you, it's traumatic for anyone that this happens to. But for men, it's that extra layer of I don't even want to talk about it with anyone.

It's always about controlling someone. You know, they're not sexual in nature in the sense that the gratification doesn't, I don't think, and most of the experts agree, doesn't come from the sex act. It comes from the subjugation, from the domination, from doing something that is unwanted. You know, it's a dominance thing.
