Good morning.
First, I want to thank these co-sponsors for their leadership in filing Trey's law at the federal level.
My name is Jayden Harris.
I'm 19 years old, and I'm here today not just as a child sexual abuse survivor from Branson, Missouri, but as someone whose voice was protected by Dray's Law.
It's why I can be here today.
When I came forward about the abuse I experienced, I was prepared for it to be difficult.
What I wasn't prepared for was the intimidation not only from my abuser but from my own lawyer to sign a non-disclosure agreement in exchange for restitution during a mediation process.
I was alone when it came to fighting for my voice.
It was both my abuser and my lawyer.
That tried to require me to sign an NDA, a contractual clause that would have restricted my ability to speak about the details of what happened to me for the rest of my life.
Imagine being told you can never tell your own truth.
Despite the bullying from my attorney and all those involved in the case, in my heart, I knew I had to stand for truth.
Not just for myself, but for others who feel they have been silenced.
I'm standing here today with my voice because Trey's law protected it as a matter of public policy, and I was able to achieve settlement while preserving my ability to speak out in hope of protecting others.
Due to learning about Tres Lawn, Missouri, I knew something important.
I cannot be legally forced into silence.
No agreement could take away my right to speak about my own experience and those responsible for the abuse.
That legal right changed everything.
It shifted the balance in power.
It meant that any resolution would not come at the cost of me owning my story.
